Training covers some very basic radio theory, safety, interference issues, regulations, and practical aspects of putting together an amateur radio station and making contacts.  The assessment consists of a multiple choice exam on the above subjects, and a practical assessment on setting up a two way radio and making a contact.

There is a $35 course fee. which includes

•   Training (All day Saturday)

•   Lunch (Saturday),

•   NERG club membership.

An additional $90  assessment fee per exam paper covers the written exam and  practical assessment on Sunday  (These fees go directly to the AMC to cover the cost of examination material and administration.) .

Those that don't pass the assessment or would like more time before attempting the exams or assesment are welcome to attend further NERG Foundation training days within 12 months at no extra cost.

Assessment results will not be available on the day as the AMC (Exam provider) marks the papers and sends out the results.

Places are limited.
