September 2019 things got a little crazy with the introduction of the new syllabus for the Foundation, Intermediate and
Advanced licences. There were several changes made at each level, for the better? Well that remains to be seen I guess,
however I just have a feeling that it won’t encourage prospective amateurs into the hobby.
Obviously this is just my honest opinion but I must say that I have seen changes like this in other things and it starts to hinder
and NOT help. A bit of advice for now though, Get in as quickly as you can. Register soon for the Essex Ham Online Foundation
Course, see website as there are just two courses left, one at the beginning of May and one at the beginning of June then there
will be a break to allow for reworking of the said new syllabus.
Events like these are helpful too. For Essex Ham the LaindonARC in Basildon have their
Progression evening once a month which Essex Ham attend regularly.
Also Essex Skills Evening in Danbury run by Chelmsford ARS have some good information
and perform many practical's that you would need for your foundation.
Give these a try, if you have the amateur radio interest then you cannot go wrong.
Everything you need to know regarding the foundation licence is printed within this
book, I say book but its more like a pamphlet, it’s not too thick but every page is
relevant. It’s presently priced at £10.99 at Amazon. (Not exactly cheap thesedays)
If you wish to sit your foundation licence exam before August this is the book for you.
After August we go onto the new syllabus and you would need to buy the updated
Foundation Licence book and as soon as that guide comes out I will post it right here.
Use the RSGB’s Course and Exam finder, it’s quick and easy to find a course near you
(if there is one)

Essex Ham run a foundation online starter course which is really worth taking just before you sit the
classroom course (as you need to take practical instructions too) I say take the online course just
before the main classroom course as it will help you big time once you get in the classroom.
I used it, I passed, I’d use it again if I was starting out now. Watch the short video above.
