Licence conditions

It is important that ALL candidates read this page

Foundation and Intermediate training courses are held by TDARS at irregular intervals; their frequency depending entirely on demand. House-bound or disabled candidates or with other special needs will have special consideration by the course/examination coordinator.

There are no previous educational requirements, tuition fees or room rental charges. Examination fees are payable by cheque to the ‘Radio Society of Great Britain’ or by credit card. F candidates must telephone their details at least 2 weeks in advance of a course. Anyone below 16 years of age MUST have a parent or guardian’s signature added to their application. This will mean a personal visit to the coordinator by arrangement.

All students MUST have an up-to-date copy of the appropriate RSGB publication for each level. These can be ordered from the RSGB or its website but are available, at a reduced price, from the curator at TDARS HQ, Village Hall, Little Wenlock, most Wednesday evenings.(see Events)

Examination candidates are allowed to use a non-programmable calculator, but no books, papers or mobile phones are permitted in the examination room. Two black ink ball point pens should be carried.
Calculations can only be written on the reverse of examination papers.
Completed F & I papers are marked on completion and results issued immediately. Successful candidates can apply to OfCom for a new call-sign a few days after the examination. Applicants may get their choice of call-sign, if it has not already been issued, by negotiation directly with OfCom. On-line licence applications are free, renewable every 5 years to remain valid.

See the appropriate Training page for further details of Foundation and Intermediate courses. For Full Licence training see the Advanced page.
Tutorials for the Full licence are available on application.
