Amateur Radio Examinations

For interested parties, the Summerside Amateur Radio Club has accredited examiners who are able to
administer all Amateur Radio Examinations on behalf of Industry Canada.  Information regarding the
accredited examiner program can be found in the Radiocommunication Information Circular 1 (RIC-1),
Guide for Examiners Accredited to Conduct Examinations for the Amateur Radio Operator Certificate.

For those looking for assistance in study preparation, Industry Canada has an exam generator program that will
test your knowledge for the Basic and Advanced examination.  The question banks (RIC-7 Basic) and
(RIC-8 Advanced) are also available for download.  A limited number of copies are available at the clubhouse.

There is also a self-study website www.hamstudy.com. HAMSTUDY.COM has been designed by
VE7AV - Frank VanderZande who has been involved in teaching ham radio courses for several decades. He recently
completed a 36 year career in communications and spectrum management in the federal government.

For those candidates that are visually impaired there is a course offered by the CNIB.
