Foundation

Foundation continues to be the most popular way of getting into amateur radio. It is attracting those who have had some previous hobby radio communications interest (CB, 4WD, scanner listener) and others who are attracted to communication technologies for the first time.

Standard

Standard requires knowledge of a wider range of topics which reflect the greater operating privileges given.

Advanced

This is the top level which brings with it full operating privileges which includes higher transmit power and access to 25 frequency bands. With this also comes portability of qualifications enabling you to operate in many other countries which can be helpful on a holiday or business trip.

Regulations

The study of radio regulations is essential for all grades of amateur operations. The Radio Communications Licence Conditions Determination (LCD) is the formal document that provides the conditions and rules for all aspects of amateur radio activity.
