Welcome to FCCLicenseExam.com
The purpose of this free website is to pull together in one place lots of FCC licensing information to help guide you to your commercial operators licenses and ham radio licenses. To find out about how to get an FCC license, select the type of license you’re interested in from the click/pull down menu above.
For example, if you’re looking for information about becoming a licensed HAM RADIO operator, on the menu pull down on the FCC Ham Radio Licenses ▼ and you’ll find that information. By the way, if you’re looking for the ‘entry’ license to Ham Radio, select the FCC Technician Class License Exam option!
While I hope that all the basics you need to know about FCC licensing for real people is here, the authoritative information comes from the FCC. Always check the FCC.GOV web site for the most current (and hopefully reliable) information about licensing.
