Self Study for Foundation level qualification
Prior to the training and assessment weekend, our education team recommend candidates undertake self study, using or more of the following resources;
- download the free Foundation Level Study Guide from https://vkradioamateurs.org/flsg/, or,
- purchase the "Your Entry Into Amateur Radio" book from the Wireless Institute of Australia, https://www.wia.org.au/licenses/foundation/foundationmanual/
Both of these resources cover the theory, regulations and practical components for the amateur radio foundation level qualification assessment.
In addition, candidates will need to be familiar with the current document Radiocommunications (Amateur Stations) Class Licence 2023 (RCL). Also, we recommend being familiar with the current ACMA recognition certificate (Foundation) Syllabus and examination information. Both documents can be downloaded from the ACMA website.
During the training and assessment weekend, the education team will review the foundation level components to clarify candidates understanding of the theory and regulations, with a hands-on demonstration of the practical component.
Trail foundation level assessments are available online at https://www.wia.org.au/licenses/foundation/onlineexams/foundation.php.
