FREE Laurel VEC In-Person Exam Session FREE for all applicants

FREE amateur radio license exams for all levels of license (Technician Class, General Class, and Amateur Extra Class). You may take more than one test at the session.

Limited number of candidates per exam session. Park at the Food Court at Citadel Mall. The exam is in the classroom at Reforge, which is next to Belk. This location is loud with mall noise including a children's indoor playground. If you do better testing in a quiet environment, we suggest our other test location. Candidates who have tested here say the noise did not impede their testing. Free ear plugs are available.

The FCC charges a Congress-mandated license fee of $35 for amateur radio licenses. You will pay this fee directly to the FCC after you pass your tests with us. As always, we do not charge for our tests.

Pre-registration is required for this test session due to limited seating.

You will be contacted via the email you use to register for the session. We'll email you a reminder approximately one week before your test.
