Courses are typically presented through a structured sequence of topics called modules. Each module may contain readings, links to relevant resources, quizzes, or review questions. Mentored courses typically require students to submit responses to activities as part of the course requirements.

Each course concludes with a final assessment, which students must pass to earn their certificate of completion.

Students can login to their courses at any time 24/7, and can work at their own pace. Mentored courses must be completed by the end of the session - dates can be found on the online course registration page.

For mentored courses, each student is assigned to a volunteer mentor. Mentors are very dedicated hams that have taken the course they mentor and have relevant experience in the course content. They review and comment on the  student activity submissions, and also keep track of their students' progress. Mentors are an important part of the course and available to help their students when needed.

Mentors are expected to get in contact with students within a few days after the course session begins. If you have not heard from your mentor you are encouraged to contact your mentor directly. If you still do not receive a resonse, please notify us at [email protected] so we can follow up and determine what the problem is. If at any time during your course session you lose communication with your mentor or have an issue that needs to be resolved, please contact us with a description of the problem so we can find a timely solution. Don't wait until the end of the course session to bring communication problems to our attention! 

To receive a certificate of completion, students are required to complete all course activities achieve a pssing score on the final assessment. Each course contains instructions for requesting access to the certificate, and after the request is processed then the certificate can be viewed and downloaded from the student course history page.

Amateur Radio Emergency Communication Course.

This course will help you become a better emergency communicator. You will learn to work effectively with the public and with volunteer agencies during a communications emergency. One of the basic tenets of Amateur Radio is to provide a pool of experienced communicators during emergencies. All Amateur Radio operators are encouraged to receive training in emergency communication, and this course is suitable for newly licensed operators. However, those who have been actively operating Amateur Radio for perhaps a year or more will find much of the terminology and many of the practices more familiar and easier to assimilate. This should not discourage the newly licensed individual, but should merely inform you of what to expect.
