Full and Intermediate Licences
For many years,Sheffield Amateur Radio Club have provided Full Licence (Radio Amateur’s Examination) and Intermediate (Novice) training.
Foundation Licence
The entry level to amateur radio in the UK is the Foundation Licence. This is a licence that was introduced in January 2002. The Foundation Licence is designed to get you involved in amateur radio as quickly as possible. But before you are allowed to transmit ‘live’it is important that you know a little bit about how your radio works,the dangers of interfering with other radio users,how not to upset your neighbours or your parents (if you are a young person) and the rules and regulations of holding a radio transmitting licence.
How do you learn these new skills;by taking the Foundation Licence training course,which is an integral part of obtaining a Foundation Licence. Most of the training is practical. There is a small amount of radio and electronics theory but only enough for you to appreciate things like using the correct fuses in your equipment and how to build an antenna to get the most out of your radio station.
Foundation Licence courses are Run all year Round at Sheffield Amateur Radio Club:
