What will we learn?
The Technician Class Amateur Radio License is the entry level license, and passing the Element 2 exam is a prerequisite to be issued a new FCC issued Amateur license. Subjects covered on the Technician exam include basic electrical theory, radio wave and propagation theory, basic operating practices, FCC rules and regulations, and safety. This is also the license class examination that is required to be passed for re-entering amateur licensees to reclaim some of the privileges that the previous license granted. See: Exam Element Credit for more information. It is NOT an instant restoration of privileges. The Element 2 Exam is a proctored 35 Question multiple-choice test.
There is a multiple-choice question proctored examination (Element 2) that must be passed in order for the FCC to issue you a new license.
SEE: MARS Education Page for more information.
