The OARC Basic Amateur Radio course prepares you to write the exam for your Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic Qualification. The course covers all 100 Basic exam topics over approximately 12 weeks. All course materials are provided.

A mark of 70-79% on the Basic exam affords you access to radio wave bands that are great for short-range communication and the presence of repeaters in many places extend the range of communications. If you get 80% or more (Basic with Honours), you’ll have greater operating privileges.
