Distance Learning for Advanced Exam
Following the success of the June to December distance learning course for the Amateur Radio Advanced exam, the Bath Radio Classes are planning to do it all over again.
Having started in June with sixty four students, there are already nearly forty on the waiting list for the next course, but there is room for more.
The next 'virtual' course will start in the week beginning February 5.
The aim is that students will sit the exam in July, either in Bath or at their local exam centre. There are no fees for the classes but students will need a copy of the RSGB Advance! textbook and will, of course, need to pay the exam fee of £37.50. There may be a refundable deposit to pay but that has yet to be finalised - finish the course and you get your deposit back, fail to finish and the deposit goes to charity.
Each week, students will receive guided reading instructions and revision questions to test recollection and/or understanding. Tutors will mark e-mailed answers and will provide worked answers in return.
Tutors will also provide points of clarification on request. The material is supplemented by additional exercises and video demonstrations on YouTube.
