NOTE: This is the Correct Course for all Tests given July 1, 2022 and continuing through June 30, 2026.
Memorizing answers is hard. Learning is easy! The Fast Track to Your Technician Ham Radio License explains the reasoning and technology behind each correct answer on the Amateur Radio exam so you'll understand and remember the subject matter.
The fasttrackham.com web site has free practice exams that track right along with the book -- study a chapter, then take a practice exam on that chapter. It is a study method based on the latest research into the neuroscience of learning and it is exclusive to the Fast Track courses.
Created by an experienced ham and adult educator, it's like having your own, patient, experienced, good-humored mentor for the exam.
Technician is the entry-level ham radio license that lets you operate on all ham channels from 30 MHz up, which includes the very popular VHF and UHF bands. To get your license you must pass a multiple-choice test.
The Technician license test consists of 35 questions drawn from a pool of 400. Memorizing the answers to 400 questions is difficult, but The Fast Track makes getting your license easy by explaining the logic behind each correct answer, and by arranging the questions so they form a logical progression toward mastery of the material.
It's simple: When you understand the subjects, you remember the answers and pass the test. Best of all, once you've passed your exam you'll have a solid grounding in ham radio basics.
