[GCARC] FCC Test Study & Prep Class Help

[Christopher Prioli AD2CS]

Is there anyone who would be interested in working with me to re-establish
some in-house FCC test prep classes?  I have a full array of training
materials ready to go, and I have my ARRL test Instructior;s Certificate.
I am simply looking for two or three volunteers to help run the classes.
The more minds answering some questions, especially with varying levels of
experience, the better for the students.

I'd like to see this take off, and maybe if we have enough ARRL VE's -- I
am one, and I am sure there are at least two or three more -- in the club,
we can do the testing at the conclusion of the class series.  This would
allow us to offer upgrades more often than just once a year.

I envision running Technician classes, General classes, and Amateur Extra
classes as separate class sessions.  I would like to have at least one
other instructor with me at each class, meaning that I am looking for a mix
af ratings, as I'd like to have Generals or better teaching Techs, and
Extras or Advanced teaching Generals, with Extras teaching Extras.

Don't be bashful -- it would mean one evening a week for about six weeks,
and then the test date.  I would like to run the three classes in parallel,
so all three finish up together and are thus ready for tests together.  It
would be up to Club Leadership whether or not there would be a nominal  fee
for the classes, to cover expenses, though the instructors cannot be paid
-- they can only be reimbursed for direct expenses (copy paper, books,
etc.).  Of course, the usual test fees would apply at test time.

Please get back to me if you are interested in helping out, so that I can
present this to Club Leadership ASAP...
