Ready to get on the airwaves and become a fully licensed radio operator? This fall LA1K is arranging their biannual license course to help you along the way!
The course itself is held for 5 weeks at NTNU Gløshaugen in Trondheim with 3 exam days in the end. The course curriculum is based on the book, “Veien til internasjonal radioamatørlisens“, which can be bought from NRRL’s website. Participation on the course is completely free. If you pass the exam, a one-time fee is paid to NKOM to issue your radio license.

Because of the “UKA” Student festival in October, we’ve tried to hurry it up a bit with two lectures a week, instead of the regular one per week. As usual, the time of the lectures are from 18:15 – 20:00, with a 15 minute break in the middle.
Sign-up for the course and exam here. Information on where the course will be held and what topics will be covered will be sent out by email to those who have signed up. Although for those without an NTNU keycard, be sure to let us know so we can help you get inside!
The course is open for everyone, not just members of ARK or university students!
Good luck, aspiring licensees!

Nice to see traditions being kept alive.
I received my own license as LA7SG at ARK back in 1962 – good luck!
