Did you know?

Your examination fee of $15 (CASH ONLY) entitles you to attempt successive exam elements for no additional fee, as long as you successfully earn the previous element in the same testing session. In other words, you may go from Technician to General to Extra in one session (providing time allows) for a single fee.

Can I retake my test?

If you are not successful passing the exam don't worry. You may make up to five separate attempts in the same SFRC sponsored examination session (time permitting). The $15 examination fee applies for each examination attempt.
