WIA to produce Educational Material for clubs

Date : 01 / 10 / 2024
Author : WIA Education Committee

The WIA Education Committee has been re- established to aid afilliated clubs by producing educational material

You may be aware that the Wireless Institute of Australia has re-formed it's Education Committee to review the syllabi for all grades of qualification required to gain operating privileges under the new Class Licence.

That work has already been completed as a series of Educational Frameworks. We hope these will form the basis of a review of amateur radio syllabi by the ACMA at some future time.

With the change to a Class Licence system, it is also an obvious time to review how the WIA might support affiliated clubs with their training programs or to begin a new training program.

We recognise that not all radio clubs are the same; some have a broad spectrum of experience and resources and others may benefit from some assistance.

Therefore, we are reaching out to gauge how the WIA can best assist your affiliated club in its training activities, and the level of support we might provide.

We also want to explore how affiliated clubs can share effective educational information with other affiliated clubs, such as presentation material etc.

Not all clubs provide training for new amateurs, so we are also developing training materials for existing amateurs and those wishing to upgrade. We need your help.

We have created an online survey asking for feedback about your club's educational activities, and your suggestions. A link to the survey is available below.

You can also view some preliminary educational material at a link that has been sent to all affilliated club's Presidents and Secretaries that will be going out later today.

Thank you, for your commitment to amateur radio education.

The short survey is available at this Link or at the QR Code displayed above.
