Basic and Advanced Courses & Examination

VECTOR training courses prepare students for the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED, formerly known as Industry Canada) Amateur Radio Operator Certificates with Basic and Advanced Qualifications.

VECTOR runs courses several times each year, and is one of Canada’s most active amateur radio training organizations, training up to 100 students annually with most achieving honours results in the Basic Certificate.

Our next course for the ISED Basic Certificate will be held in September/October 2023.
