If you want to get licensed, SUWS periodically runs licensing exams on the Highfield Campus of the University of Southampton, which is registered with the RSGB as a licensing test centre.
If you are a student or member of staff at the University of Southampton, SUWS has registered instructors who can provide training and assess practical work you need to do to pass your Amateur Radio exam. If you are not part of the University of Southampton, the Itchen Valley Amateur Radio Club (IVARC) can provide this training.
