The American Radio Relay League now offers Emergency Communication Courses online, including EC-001. These are self-paced courses either all by yourself or with a mentor.
This is a revision of our former Emergency Communications Basic/Level 1 course.
Description. This course is designed to provide basic knowledge and tools for any emergency communications volunteer. The course has 6 sections with 28 lesson topics and includes a selection of student activities, knowledge review quizzes, and a final assessment. The course is conducted entirely online and can be completed at your own pace, allowing you to work according to your own schedule.
