There are three levels of Amateur Licence in the UK.
Foundation
like Mady has.
Intermediate
is the next stage up, and
Full
the final stage. All require the holder to
pass an exam at the appropriate level before they are issued with a transmitting
licence and their own call sign. The Foundation exam is the simplest and consists of
26 multiple choice questions, as well as a simple operating assessment.
