Can't recommend enough! The process is easy to follow

The process is easy to follow. I love that there are both videos and printed copies of the information to help with all learning modalities. After a week of reviewing all video lessons/printed materials as well as doing the imbedded quizzes I am fully ready to take my first Ham Exam.

Course Feedback

The course is well designed and presented in a comfortable format. I found it easy to follow. It was an absolute mirror of the test which offered no surprises at test time. I was successful with my technician test. I have not yest looked at the General level course as I am a believer of one thing at a time. I so far have been very satisfied.

Passing the exams made easy with Ham Radio Prep!

Ham Radio Prep made studying and preparing for both the Technician and General Exams easy. I particularly liked taking the “Practice” as well as the “Most Difficult Questions” tests in preparation for the exams. Once I achieved a 90% or higher consistently on the tests, I felt I was ready. I highly recommend Ham Radio Prep!

Gets the job done

I think the tests are great and immediate feedback and explanations are great. I had bought the digital book too and noticed that the instructor is reading the text of the book verbatim off a teleprompter, which is a bit disappointing that it was delivered that way. Would be more compelling if the instructor had a teaching style rather than just reading the text. But overall it is getting the job done so this is a minor note.

Hi Jeff, Thank your review! ⭐ We're glad the tests and instant feedback are helping you learn effectively. We appreciate your honest note about the video delivery style—your feedback is valuable, and we'll keep it in mind as we work to improve the course experience. Using a teleprompter helps ensure we don't miss any of the questions. Completeness is important to us! Most importantly, we're happy to hear it's getting the job done for you!
