        The entrance is on the south west corner of the building, on 24th Avenue.
        There is also a General Licensing Class in a different room.

1    LOCATION:    The Technician class will be in south room and the General Class, which is for people who have a license, is in the north room.

5    FRN:    Be sure to go to the FCC ULS web site and get your FRN (Federal Registration Number),

The Federal law requires the FCC to have your Social Security Number (SSN) to start your license data file.
You can do this at their web site and then you will not have to put your SSN on the official NCVEC 605 License Application Form., at the test. We would rather not see your SSN, either
The licensing process will go quicker if you get you FRN before the test.  Go to the FCC ULS site: http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/index.htm?job=home
If you have a Novice license or an expired license, then you need to bring a copy of your license to the test session on the second day.

6    TEST INFORMATION:    The Test is a Closed Book test.  Training material can be placed on the floor,

    a)    You will need a FRN or your Social Security Number.  We would rather not see your SSN, so please get your FRN from the FCC before the second day.
    b)    You will need a photo ID.  A government identification is preferred.
    c)    $15 will be collected at the beginning of the test.  Cash or a check is preferred
    d)    Bring a pen for the official application and a pencil for the test score sheet.
    e)    Bring a simple calculator.  You can not use your cell phone or I-PAD.
    f)     Some calculators, pens and pencils are available for the test

7    RESULTS:    The test take about an half an hour  It is immediately graded.and you will know the results before you leave.
        Please raise your hand when you are finished and a runner will pick up your test package and take it to the graders.

    a)    After you finish the Technician test you can take the General. Just ask a runner.
    b)    The $15 allows you to take one Technician test and one General test and one Extra test.  Most students take both the Technician test and General test.
    c)    If one fails a Technician test, then another Technician test would cost $15.
    d)    Most of the time the test is finished in 1 1/2 hours
    e)    Licenses appear in the FCC ULS database in about 10 days.  The training team will send you an email when your license appears.

We will see you this Saturday, November 4, 2017
