The former Amateur Radio Emergency
Communications (AREC) series of three training courses has been reconfigured
into two courses: An introductory course and a course for leaders and
managers.
Introduction to Emergency
Communication (#EC-001) |
Revised in 2011, this is an update of the former Level 1 course. It
is designed to provide basic knowledge and tools for hams who want to serve as a
Public Service volunteer. It provides an opportunity for non-hams who rely on
communications in emergency situations to learn about Amateur Radio and its
unique role in emergencies.
The course is offered online using the
Moodle learning platform. The Introduction to
Emergency Communication course has six sections with 29 lesson topics and a
35 question final assessment. Participants should plan on completing the course
in approximately 45 hours over a nine week period.
This is a mentored course, in which you may work according to your own schedule. Cost is
$50 for ARRL members and $85 for non-members.
The Introduction to Emergency Communication Course Book
-- 4th Edition An introductory course designed for Amateur Radio volunteers

Public Service and Emergency Communications Management for Radio
Amateurs (#EC-016) |
Launched in 2010, this course is designed for Amateur Radio
operators who will be in leadership and managerial roles, organizing other
volunteers to support public service activities and communications emergencies.
Participants will learn how radio amateurs prepare to support local community
events and, when working in coordination with governmental and emergency
response organizations, how to deploy their services. This is a self-study
course. For more information and to register visit www.arrl.org/online-course-catalog.
