The  Sierra Foothills ARC offers all levels of Amateur radio license upgrade classes.

All classes are held online via a Zoom classroom.  They are on Tuesday evenings starting at 7:00 PM and end at 9:00 PM (Pacific Time) on the dates below.

Each class also includes two in-person hands-on labs.  One lab focuses on a license-appropriate Get On The Air session and a project build.  These classes are held on Saturdays in the Auburn/Sacramento area.  Dates and times for each class are below.  Labs may be re-scheduled due to weather conditions or instructor availability.

Course fees include the latest version of the applicable ARRL License Manual shipped to your home and hands-on lab materials.  FCC license exam fees are not included.  You pay those fees directly to the testing VE.
