Our courses run at all three levels on a
regular basis and are held at either the 23rd Wakefield Scout Hut,

Station.
Course prices and durations (assuming one
lesson per week) are as follows:

The course fees include the exam fee, one
years' full membership of the Wakefield & District Radio Society (needed for
insurance
purposes) and amount for administration,
photocopying and refreshments. If you are already a member, discounts are
available.
Several Foundation (M3/M6) and
Intermediate (2E0) courses have already been
run, with a successful pass for ALL
trainees. An M0 (Advanced) Course is now in progress
and the next Foundation Course starts soon.
Syllabuses and the like are
available from an external site, accessible from
our links and downloads page.
Photos from some of these courses
(including a recent success with Clayton West Scouts) are shown below.
As normal, you may click on an image for a full-size

We recently trained our first blind candidate - Louise Simpson
who passed and is now M3WSQ.
She swears she's not going
to use the phonetics "White Stick Queen"!

details, or to "book" a place on a course, please contact the lead instructor
who can provide you with
all the

Photos of
some of the aspiring (or should it be
perspiring?) M3's are shown below attempting to erect an
aerial system outside
the Scout Hut where most of the courses
are conducted. No names are included to protect the guilty!
