Most people begin with Basic. Check the additional privileges tied to honours standing, Morse qualification or Advanced.
Study the material
Use the official question bank and cover regulations, electrical and RF safety, propagation, antennas and operating procedure.
Take the examination
Find an accredited examiner and confirm identity, language, delivery method and possible fees. Ask how the result will be sent to ISED.
Manage the call sign
After passing, track call-sign assignment and keep contact details current in the official service. Use the proper service for a reprint or change.
