We will not hold an in-person session this month. If you're ready to test, please let us know and we can test you either online using the same test software we use in person or you can sign up for exams held at other locations the following weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.

SANDARC's Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) offers free in-person and online testing for all FCC Amateur Radio licenses.

SANDARC does not charge for first time license exam, re-test nor license upgrade.

Test for your Technician, General or Extra Class License. Multiple elements allowed. Please make sure that you have studied and you are passing practice exams with 80% or higher.
