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

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

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!
