A few things to note:
• Pre-Study is required.
• Success is NOT guaranteed. While we wish for success to all Scouts and Scouters who come to take the exam, these are administered under the auspices of the Federal Communication Commission, and minimum scores must be attained.
• Passing the Exam does not mean you are licensed. If successful, your score will be reported to the FCC, and after you receive an email, you will be required to go online, pay the FCC license fee of $35, and you will be given access to a PDF of your license. They are valid for 10 year.
