[K3CAL] Scheduling the Test Session

[Rich Weaver]

True but posting it on both the K3CAL and the ARRL website will reach more people.

Scheduling the Test Session.
When and where should you hold a session? Who determines the answers? How often are sessions needed in your area? These decisions are entirely up to you and your team. The ARRL/VEC refers inquiries from candidates in your area to your team, but that's as far as the ARRL VEC office can go. You and the other radio amateurs in your community--instructors, clubs and other VEs--have a much better idea of what your community needs.
The goal is convenience to the candidate. Consider all time and site options. Sessions should be held on weeknights and weekends when candidates won't have to take time off from work. And they should be held at a variety of easily accessed sites where candidates won't have to travel long distances.
If your team plans to conduct more than one session and has a good idea when the sessions will be held, let the ARRL/VEC know in advance what schedule you anticipate, even if the first session won't be held for several weeks or months. With this information in hand, the ARRL/VEC can distribute the schedule to a wide audience and prospective applicants can also arrange their study plans better. We have observed that most candidates refer to the ARRL/VEC for help with finding exam opportunities in their local community. The information we post on our ARRL Exam Session Search Web page at www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-exam-session helps candidates find you!

I can put the testing on the website.  That should satisfy the advertisement requirement.  73,
