QCEN sponsors classes to introduce newcomers to amateur radio. Classes are held at various times during the year, and basically cover material for the beginning license classes. A variety of teaching methods are used; classes are sometimes held for an entire day on two separate days; at other times, classes are held weekly for several weeks. Code classes may be offered from time to time, but a Morse Code test is no longer required for any class of amateur radio license.
