ARRL invites input on new Certification and Continuing Education
Program

ARRL members are invited to offer their suggestions on the shape and
scope of the new ARRL Certification and Continuing Education
Program. A Web-based forum now is ''live'' to collect member input on
how the program should be designed and what it should include. ARRL
Educational and Technical Advisor L.B. Cebik, W4RNL, is serving as
interim forum moderator-facilitator.

The forum site is
http://www.arrl.org/members-only/forums/index.php3. It's being
moderated to ensure that all member input is acknowledged and
integrated as fully as possible into the developing program. Members
are being asked to suggest specific programs and areas of study or
skills development they would like to see as part of the
Certification Program.

The ARRL Board of Directors approved the development and
implementation of the self-education program for radio amateurs at
its January meeting. The program is aimed at inspiring amateurs to
continue acquiring technical knowledge and operating expertise
beyond that required to become licensed.

The League will roll out the initial phase of the Certification and
Continuing Education Program later this year.
