The Club runs courses to help our Members progress through their Radio Communications Exams, and we have a very high success rate from our students to date.

Our home at the Britannia Hotel is an RSGB Registered Examination Centre, and we're hosting Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced Exams there this year.

With our Foundation Licence Training Courses, we have got six new M6s on the air in 2008, another seven in 2009, and four in 2010.

Having completed the course, the successful candidates are able to obtain their Foundation Licences, which gives them access to most of the Amateur bands with 10 watts of power: this is sufficient to make worldwide contacts, or join in local radio nets with our Members.

We've also had success in our Intermediate Licence Training Courses with almost all candidates passsing at their first attempt.

The Club will be running further courses for the Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced Licences, as detailed below.
These are held in the evenings (from 7pm) at the Britannia Hotel, Beaumont Road, Bolton.

The fees for our 2010 Foundation Courses are £40, and £50 for the Intermediate course.
We encourage all candidates to join the Bolton Wireless Club.
There is a minimum number of candidates required for us to put on a course, but you can reserve your place in advance on the next one by payment of the course and any membership fees due.

These classes are dedicated training evenings, some of which include practical assessments and demonstrations.
