UK Direct to Full Examination Syllabus

The RSGB have announced the publication of the new Direct to Full examination syllabus.

Enrolments for the Direct to Full examinations will open in January 2023, six months after the publication of the new syllabus.

“Direct-To-Full is the biggest shakeup to UK amateur radio licensing in 20 years, the RSGB has unveiled details of “Direct to Full”, a new way to get a UK ‘Full’ amateur radio licence.”
— Essex Ham

The examination is specifically aimed at aspiring amateurs who are already competent in related technical subjects. However, it will be open to all, and Foundation and Intermediate amateurs are free to enrol for the Direct to Full examination or continue along the three-tier route as they wish.
