What: The Basic course will provide the candidate with
the requisite knowledge to pass the Basic Licensing
exam as prescribed by Innovation, Science and
Economic Development (ISED) Canada. The course
includes a study guide which has brief theory,
procedures and regulations. We are trying a new format
for 2019; Four lessons will be presented over four
Saturdays. Lessons cover electrical theory, operating
procedures and radio regulations. The last session each
day will be an “Afternoon Practicum” offering informal,
practical, sessions with hands-on demonstrations and
discussions. On the fifth Saturday, we will provide
examiners to administer the exam and handle your
licensing applications.
