ARRL VEC:
Exam Sessions in the Santa Clara Valley

We're here to help you get your FCC license!

The Silicon Valley Volunteer Examiner (VE) Group holds Tests for all license grades
Technician, General, and Amateur Extra.
Dates: Our walk-in test sessions are on the first and third Saturdays of each month.
Time: You may start taking your test at any time between 8 AM and 10:30 AM. (You must arrive before 10:30 AM.) Special Test Sessions may have different times, as announced.
What to Bring: All necessary forms will be furnished to you. Please bring two forms of identification (one preferably a picture ID), the original and a photocopy of your current license (if you are a Ham). If your license does not yet reflect your latest upgrade then also bring the original and a photocopy of any CSCEs that document the elements not reflected in your license. Youngsters may be identified by a properly identified adult. A calculator may be helpful.
Cost: There is a $15 charge for taking the tests (the same $15 lets you take as many different-level tests as you want during one morning).
Where to Find Us:  

We will have signs out that say Ham Test.
