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 rescheduled 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.
