ADVANCED Amateur Certification

For those trying to gain the Advanced Amateur Radio Certification in Canada, we encourage you to join our Study Group.

Weekly Videoconference

We are a small study group focused on Advanced Amateur Radio Certification in Canada. This process is in transition as ISED plans to release a new question bank in 2025.  We may do one more series of 12 study groups before 2024 is out, but our plans are not final.  Please subscribe for notifications if you are interested.

Practice Exams

Exams 1 to 7 below comprise 100% of the questions in the ISED Advanced Amateur question bank.  These are the difficult (and more useful) practice exams.  If you can pass 1 to 7, you should pass the Advanced Certification exam.  The final exam, marked ISED Practice Exam, is linked directly to the ISED site and is a random selection of 50 questions which is much easier, and is similar to the IRL exam you will write.

Section 2 - Semiconductors and Amplification

Section 3 - Electrical Measurement Techniques and Instruments
