Recently, the first ham radio candidate, in Brazil was approved by remotely-invigilated exam and received their COER (amateur radio operator certificate) in C class.

IN June 2020 the National Telecomunications Regulatos, ANATEL, announced new guidelines to make this possible. LABRE, the Brazillian Amateur Radio League, asked ANATEL to open online exams because the agency has closed all other exams.

Record Numbers to take UK Foundation Exam

Prior to the introduction of remotely-invigilated online exams that people can take from their own home, there were only about 1500 Foundation exams held each year, that equates to just 125 a month, demand is now running at over four-times that level.

Remote-invigilation and Online Training seems to have made the hobby accessible to so many more people for whom the geographically-patchy club-based training and exams were out of reach.
