Approved Radio Engineers (ARE) and Approved Radio Certifiers (ARC)
Radio and spectrum licences require certification by an approved person as part of the licensing process to confirm that the new licensed radio service will be compatible with existing licensed radio services:
ARC can engineer and certify Radio Licences only.
ARE can engineer and certify both Radio Licences and Spectrum Licences.

Approved Radio Examiners (ARX)
Radio operator certificates are required to be held by users of the Maritime, Amateur, and Aeronautical radio service bands. This is to ensure that users are familiar with the technical, theoretical, practical, and regulatory knowledge required to operate radio transmitting equipment in these radio service bands. These services also require callsigns to be used for identification purposes:
- ARX can conduct radio operator examinations, issue radio operator certificates, and issue callsigns for maritime and amateur radio operators.
