Learn the Rules That Govern Amateur Radio in Canada
Regulations and Policies – 001 covers everything new operators need to know about licensing, station identification, international agreements, and operating responsibilities. By mastering the regulations and policies that shape the amateur service, you’ll build a solid foundation for safe, legal, and effective radio operation — preparing you for both the Basic exam and real-world on-air confidence.
Hamshack.ca is transforming Amateur Radio education through its proprietary Question Specific Learning (QSL) method, used to deliver the Advanced and Basic Amateur Radio courses, with new courses to follow. The QSL approach emphasizes understanding the reasoning behind correct answers with detailed explanations, real-life examples, and quizzes developed from the Spectrum Management Question bank. QSL aims to shift learning from simple memorization to thorough comprehension, preparing learners for practical application and the Spectrum Management formal written exams.
