Training Sites
OU - An introduction to electronics
Although not a radio course, this 10 hour introduction to electronics may be a worthwhile course for those with little or no electronics knowledge. A tried, tested and free courses from the Open University.
OARC - Online Amateur Radio Community Intermediate course details *
This is a "fast track" online course. I would suggest some amount of self paced training prior to attending the course. The cost is £5 , which is excellent value, and the course takes place via an hour and half video meeting on a Wednesday evening. If you are unable to attend you can catch up the next day. A great feeling of community learning and almost instant access to tutors via Discord. Once you have completed training the Discord server is worth staying a member of, as there are lots of useful topics and knowledgeable members.
South Bristol Amateur Radio Club
A well laid out site providing slides and printable notes , with a breakdown of question types and a percentage rate of each subject. The course notes have not been updated to the 1.6 syllabus but until it is updated is still a useful tool for studying other aspects.
"Getting Tae Grips" *
Intermediate Licence NEW Course created by Billy GM6DX to help you pass your RSGB Intermediate Amateur Radio Licence. Now the only course provided by Billy, but the training is extremely well laid out and comprehensive. The site also has many mock exams.
Bath Distance Learning *
No details of the course are available at the moment. To request dates of the courses or enroll contact Steve, G0FUW, via e-mail to g0fuw@tiscali.co.uk
Bath Distance learning is recognised as one of the best online training suppliers.
Harwell Amateur Radio Society (HARS)
Courses run at the club and online when demand requires. Either types of course are £10 and the club cover all 3 licences.
Chesham & District Amateur Radio Society
A set of slides from their training courses and a large database of test questions for all courses. I am trying to verify if the y have been updated for syllabus 1.6. Requires you register your email address for access.
* Confirmed updated to 2024 syllabus 1.6
