For those trying to gain the Advanced Amateur Radio Certification in Canada, we encourage you to join our Study Group.

Smita VA7SMQ will be hosting a free Zoom-based study group for people studying for the Advanced Certification in Canada. The group will meet once a week starting December 11, 2025. This is a student led group, with occasional participation by Elmers who will be available to answer questions. Each week, the group will aim to tackle four chapters below. Absolutely no commitment is required. Drop in as you please for as many (or as few) sessions as you like. This notice will be taken down when the study group disbands. Use the information below to join.

Time: Thursdays at 7 pm, Starting December 11, 2025
Holidays excluded, and please note that Christmas 2025 is on a Thursday and there will be no session on that date.

Practice Exams

Exams 1 to 7 below comprise 100% of the questions in the ISED Advanced Amateur question bank. These are the difficult (and more useful) practice exams. If you can pass 1 to 7, you should pass the Advanced Certification exam. The final exam, marked ISED Practice Exam, is linked directly to the ISED site and is a random selection of 50 questions which is much easier, and is similar to the IRL exam you will write.
