    Introduction to Emergency Communication  (#EC-001)

Revised in 2011, this is an update of the former Level 1  course. It is 
designed to provide basic knowledge and tools for hams who  want to serve as a 
Public Service volunteer. It provides an opportunity  for non-hams who rely 
on communications in emergency situations to learn  about Amateur Radio and 
its unique role in emergencies. 

The course  is offered online using the Moodle learning platform. The 
Introduction to Emergency Communication course has  six sections with 29 lesson 
topics and a 35 question final assessment.  Participants should plan on 
completing the course in approximately 45  hours over a nine week period. This is 
a  mentored course, in which you may work according  to your own schedule. 
Cost is $50 for ARRL  members and $85 for non-members.
