Exam Study Guides and Question Bank

Below are the Study guide to for the New Zealand Radio Operators Certificate of Competence which is the formal name for the “Hams Ticket” in New Zealand.

Also here you will find the question bank used for the exam, with answers and without so that you can test yourself as you learn.

If self-study is not the way you like to learn you may find your local radio club has someone who can help out and some run weekend long ‘Ham Cram’ events as two day fast track to learning the material and sitting the exam in two days flat.
