Hinesburg VT - in person (only) computer based testing

Greetings and welcome to this session! We are excited for you to get licensed and/or upgraded! Please check out the session information below. Do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or requests!

Exam registration

• Available for anyone who wishes to take a US FCC Amateur Radio exam.
• All license classes (Technician, General, and Amateur Extra) are available to anyone from any state or country.
• Please make sure you have studied sufficiently for any levels you wish to test for. This is not a place to “try” taking the exam without adequate preparation.

GLAARG VEC fees

• GLAARG waives exam fees for minors (under age 18), full-time students (under age 25), active US military, US military veterans, and GLAARG VEs upgrading to Extra. You may fill out the waiver form after you register if you qualify.
• We will send you an invoice for the $10.00 exam fee a few days before the session. You may also pay in-person.
• Please either pay or submit the waiver form as soon as you can after receiving that email.
• Multiple exams are available for the same fee.
• We charge an additional $10.00 retesting fee for anyone who wishes to retest, including waived applicants.

FCC application processing fee

• The FCC charges a $35.00 fee for new amateur radio licenses (Technician exams), renewals, and vanity call sign requests. This fee is in addition to the VEC $10.00 testing fee.
• After successful completion of your exam, GLAARG and the FCC will process your license application and the FCC will issue a file number. After that, you will have 10 days to pay the processing fee online.
• After the FCC issues the file number, you will receive an email from the FCC with instructions on how to pay the fee. This will involve making an account on the FCC CORES system.
• We understand that this additional fee might not be the news you want to hear. The FCC has changed the fee structure across several radio license types. Amateur radio is still a wonderful hobby and we hope this will only be a small hurdle. Please let us know if you have any questions or need assistance!

Session participation

• All sessions are in-person at the Hinesburg Fire Department.
• You must have a valid photo ID upon arrival.
• If you or anyone you are registering for this session is under the age of 13, please fill out the COPPA Parental Consent Form and email it to coppa@examtools.org and exams@n1ne.radio.

We hope to see you soon!
