Nice one Pete,

I'm currently on your course and many others here have also taken it successfully leading them onto their Amateur licences.
You and Essex Ham cannot come more highly respected and regarded with your work and courses.


All the very best to you,
Victor

Always good to hear. Thanks for the kind words, and enjoy the course.

Pete

Hi Mark,

I signed up for the June 6th date. Had a couple of mails come through, the first was titled 'Foundation Online Application' which had an attached pdf about the course.

The second was titled 'Foundation Online Application Acknowledgement' which said "Due to high demand for our courses, you may not hear from us again until 3 or 4 days before the course start date. After that, you'll hear from us again on the day before the course, when we'll supply you with details on how to log in to the online classroom. On the day of the course itself, you'll receive an email about starting the first module. If you don't see an email from us just before the start date, please check your spam folder."

I've been checking my junk folder everyday anyways as the above two mails went there in the first place, but I haven't received any more about starting this tomorrow. Would you know if the 6th is going ahead or who I would contact to find out if I am included in this months' one?

Thanks, Neal.

(edit/update):
I have just had a mail through to say "Just a quick email to confirm that you are due to start a course with us tomorrow, as advised by an automatic email recently.

We’ll be in contact later this afternoon to provide you with signup details."

So should all be good 

Good to hear you got sorted Neal.

Just wished to convey my very best to you with the course, (Essex Ham are awesome!)

The very best of luck, keep us apprised and I look forward to congratulating you when you pass!  


All the very best,
Victor

No problem Mark, thanks for clarifying. And thank you Victor for the best wishes, I've made a start, it all looks laid out pretty clear so far 

Stick with the course you will get there.
If i can then you can.

Been an intense couple of weeks. Read the foundation manual a few times. Did the GM6DX online course alongside a faster paced version of the Essex Ham course. Did the RSGB mocks and read through their mock questions in their schedule. Took the exam, passed 25/26  and cert came extremely quickly.. dropped through my letterbox this morning. I am now M7TDV

Big thanks to those at the RSGB for processing so quickly, their admins are on fire. Had their president Dave M0OBW invigilating too, who was very calming, especially when I was flapping on the pre-exam call when my PC speakers decided to go silent on me to begin with

More on subject of this thread, very big thanks to Essex ham. Their course videos explained everything that was needed clearly. If I had just done the GM6DX course I do not think I would of done so well as it made things more complicated here and there than needed. Definitely recommend the Essex course!

Absolutely fantastic news Neal!! 

A very big congratulations mate.     

Enjoy your access to all those fabulous new bands and modes. Ha! Really chuffed for you.

Congratulations Neal!!

I hope to catch you on the bands. 

73's Gary.

Awesome well done Neal.
73,
Mark.
