Communications Officer | November 6, 2026

If you’re thinking of taking an amateur radio exam before Christmas, you need to be aware that the last date you can take an online exam either at a club or at home is Monday 21 December 2026.

The RSGB Exams Team will, where possible, post out exam results before HQ shuts over Christmas and New Year. Exams will resume on Monday 4 January 2027. The booking system will be available during the festive season so you can book exams for January onwards.

Book online on the RSGB website.
