Important Instructions

Recording Consent Required

You will need two devices for your exam; any combination is valid (PC + phone, tablet + phone, or even two phones).

By joining, you must agree to the applicable recording laws. To protect your privacy, please remove any personal or confidential items from your exam space.

A 360° scan of the room and a clear view of your work area are required.

✅ By participating, you consent to the recording, storage, and possible review of video, audio, and images during the session.

The recordings are stored securely and never shared unless misconduct is detected; in that case, the material could be sent to the FCC for investigation.

Obtain FRN (FCC Registration Number)

If you don’t have an FRN, you can request one instantly from FCC Cores.

Current license holders already have an FRN linked to their call sign.
