There are three levels of licensing in the United Kingdom: '''Foundation, Intermediate, and Full.'''  The '''Foundation''' (first) content (classroom and practicals) is typically taught on a Saturday with the exam on the following Sunday. The  '''Intermediate''' (second) courses usually take a bit longer as it includes more practical coursework (soldering, kit assembly, radio operation) and assessment. The '''Full''' (third and final) licence stage is often done through a combination of guided conversations and self-study.

As the London Hackspace community tends to be familiar with the basic concepts of electronics involved in the amateur radio qualifications, our courses are self-study for the theoretical portions of these exams. There are usually assessors around during meetings who can handle practical assessments on an ad-hoc basis. London Hackspace is a RSGB registered exam centre. Exams are run as needed, based on demand and on the availability of invigilators (who have to give up several hours of their undivided attention).
