Snohomish ACS offers Amateur Radio Technician Class license courses around the County on request. The course includes classroom instruction and the FCC license exam over two days. This is everything you need to get your amateur radio license. There is a cost for this course.

There are online study materials and practice tests at Ham Test Online and Ham Study. We also have a short study guide available for download. The study guide is focused on material that appears multiple times in the question pool and simply must be memorized.

Other classes and test sessions are available around the area and can be found here. The pandemic has severely limited the number of in-person test sessions, but online testing is now available. There are a large number of test sessions available, but they require a reservation. Ham Study has a list of available testing sessions.

The course fee is $30 and includes the book, course materials and FCC test fee.

If you have your own book, the fee is $15 and you are also welcome to simply come test (all license classes are available) for $14. We use the Amateur Radio Technician Class Licensing book by Stephen Horan available on Amazon.

If you would like to test and aren't attending the class, we recommend contacting us in advance so we can provide entry details and we know you're coming. Registration for the course is required for us to insure we have enough materials.

The FCC has added a licensing fee of $35 that is separate from the book, course and test fee. Once you pass the test as part of the class, the FCC will contact you by email to pay the licensing fee directly to them. The FCC requires applicants to use their personal FCC Registration Number (FRN). It is necessary to get an FRN before class.
