Volunteer Examiner

Volunteer Examiners (VEs) are US licensed Radio Amateurs holding a General Class license or higher, who offer their time to administer the FCC licensing exams through a FCC authorized Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) organization. The ARRL VEC is the largest VEC organization in the US. 

By becoming a VE you can serve as one of the three required examiners that must be present at a test session for individuals attempting to earn / upgrade their Amateur Radio licenses.

Having a large number of VEs associated with local Amateur Radio clubs helps ensure that there will always be enough examiners available to administer test sessions.

Consider contributing your time and expertise to your local community by becoming an ARRL VE.  

Serving the Amateur Radio community as a VE is a gratifying experience!
