Hi,just wanted know if you had anything on the advanced licence at all.
Thanks,Anthony Bateman,2e0 buff intermediate.
Hi Anthony,
Sorry, but we don’t offer a course for Advanced. Best bet is to sign up to the Bath-based distance learning course, which is highly recommended.

Regards Alan Clark
Hi Alan,
If you’re referring to our online Foundation course, then we will are working on revisions for the new syllabus and hope to have the new course available either later this year, or early next year.

Hi Pete,
I want to thank you for your enrolling next in the Foundation self paced in FEB. I’ve taken my practical and passed the Foundation at Bletchley Park – MKS yesterday. Self paced / support materials together with the RSGB materials make the experience most efficient and assure confidence to pass and continue on.
Highly recommended.
Kind regards,
Geoff C
Hi Pete
