HARES Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced Training Courses

Our Instructors Simon G3USP and John G0SKR, assisted by other club members who help with tutoring, are keen to  introduce new students to Ham Radio and help them to obtain their licences. Recently 28 Foundation, 16 Intermediate and 10 Advanced licence passes were obtained, many of these were amateurs from nearby clubs which has increased the camaraderie between members. 
 
Training is free to members of the club but a charge of £30 is made for non members (which includes one years membership of the club). Exam fees are set by the RSGB and are currently £27.50 for Foundation £32.50 for Intermediate and £37.50 for Full licence.

Leicester Radio Society also run courses locally.
