CANADIAN BASIC & ADVANCED COURSE
OUTLINES FOR INSTRUCTORS


HAMSTUDY.COM courses are indispensable instructional tools for instructors of ham radio courses. One way of organizing a course would be as follows:
  1. - advertise your ham radio course with access to the internet as a course requirement
  2. - include HAMSTUDY.COM in the course fees to take advantage of bulk rates for 5 or more subscriptions
  3. - use the syllabus provided below for your course outline
  4. - review study notes in the HAMSTUDY.COM courses for the subjects to be covered in the classroom
  5. - cover session material in the classroom
  6. - assign homework to be conducted at HAMSTUDY.COM
By using HAMSTUDY.COM, students get the pertinent study notes and the complete organized question bank which is easily navigated on-line. Also, if a student is absent for a specific session, using HAMSTUDY.COM makes it easy for the student to catch-up on the instructional material. Try the free BASIC and ADVANCED areas and see the possibilities.

New examinations can be made available to accredited examiners in .pdf format by e-mail for no charge. Printed examinations can also be mailed for a fee. Requests must be from examiners only and must include their accreditation issue and expiry dates. Send requests to frank@bcgroup.net
