Ahh ok, I’m US licensed also. Was surprised to see your club insists on such a rigid learning experience.

You’ll know best for your present situation, but I’d encourage you to just go get your license on your own and get on the air. There’s plenty of media channels to learn.

@667 I'm already licensed ... went "from zero to hero" on my own over a span of about 4 months back in 2011.

It's just so frustrating seeing the obstacles which are constantly thrown in the way of people who want to become licensed (or upgraded).

Edit: licensing year

100%

That’s wild your club makes newbies sit through such a course and refuses any kind of modernizations. OMs for sure.
