offers online training for hams who want to participate in the Amateur Radio
Emergency Service.  

The time for training is before a disaster...not during one.
Two courses make up the ARRL ARESR training program. Enroll Today!


The former Amateur Radio Emergency Communications (AREC) series of three
training courses has been reconfigured into two courses: An introductory
course and a course for leaders and managers.

  _____  


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.

Launched in 2010, this course is designed for Amateur Radio operators who
will be in leadership and managerial roles, organizing other volunteers to
support public service activities and communications emergencies.
Participants will learn how radio amateurs prepare to support local
community events and, when working in coordination with governmental and
emergency response organizations, how to deploy their services. This is a
self-study course. For more information and to register visit
