Workshops for new ARCs or ARCs wanting to become an ARE

In 2020 Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) will offer workshops to assist competent persons in the radio communications industry to become an Approved Radio Engineer (ARE) or Approved Radio Certifier (ARC).

Application packs

Application Packs to become a new ARC or for existing ARCs to upskill to an ARE will be available soon from this page. There is no fee for competent persons to be trained.

When we receive your application, we'll check it to make sure you meet the criteria. Following vetting, RSM will hold workshops in two phases.
