Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1E · 47 CFR §97.509, 97.525
What is required to be accredited as a Volunteer Examiner?
- A.Each General, Advanced and Amateur Extra class operator is automatically accredited as a VE when the license is granted
- B.The amateur operator applying must pass a VE examination administered by the FCC Enforcement Bureau
- C.The prospective VE must obtain accreditation from the FCC
- D.A VEC must confirm that the VE applicant meets FCC requirements to serve as an examiner (correct answer)
WhyTo be accredited as a Volunteer Examiner, a VEC must confirm that the applicant meets the FCC's requirements to serve as an examiner. §§97.509 and 97.525 require a VEC to confirm that a prospective Volunteer Examiner meets the FCC's qualification requirements before that person can be accredited to serve, answer D. Accreditation isn't automatic upon reaching General, Advanced, or Extra class, and there's no FCC-administered VE examination or direct FCC accreditation process, the VEC handles that confirmation.
