Fire Station 3 conference room is apparently full of exercise equipment at this time and there's no room for us to meet there next week.  We have been asked to use Station 1 13050 Community Rd, Poway, CA 92064 instead for this month's meeting.

FCC TECHNICIAN LICENSE PREPARATION CLASS

 

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

 

The Carlsbad CERT AUXCOMM team is planning to conduct a 5-week class to prepare people to take the FCC exam for the entry-level Technician License. The class is FREE but there is a ($10) fee for the exam.

 

This class is open to all interested parties not just CERT team members.

 

 

 

 

 

DATES: Thursdays, April 20- May 18 (5-week class/testing on last night)

 

TIMES: 6-10 pm

 

LOCATION: Carlsbad Safety Center 5750 Orion St., Carlsbad

 

 

 

 

 

About the FCC Technician Exam:

 

 

 

The entry-level FCC license is the Technician license. Here’s some info about the Tech exam itself:

 

 

 

  • The Technician Exam has 35 questions taken from a fixed question pool of about 400 possible questions.

  • The questions are grouped into Elements and Sub-Elements, and an exam is created by randomly choosing one question from each of the 35 Sub-Elements.

  • You must answer 26 of the 35 (71% or better) correctly for a passing score.

  • All questions are multiple-choice (A, B, C, or D).

  • The questions on the test are taken from the official Question Pool that can be found at http://ncvec.org/

  • The question wording may not be altered in preparing an exam, except for rearranging the answers between A), B), C), and D) presented in the Question Pool.

 

 

 

About the class

 

  • The FCC Technician Class is designed to cover all of the exam questions and correct answers along with explanations and discussion to help understand the exam material. In other words, you will see all of the questions along with the correct answers before you take the exam.

  • Students will need to spend time outside of class studying on their own and using practice tests on the internet to be ready to take the exam.

  • At the final class session, all students will have an opportunity to take the FCC Exam and learn if they have passed the exam to earn the license.
