Question
What is required to be accredited as a Volunteer Examiner?
Answer Options
- 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: D
Explanation
Accreditation as a Volunteer Examiner (VE) is a critical step that ensures the individual is qualified and authorized to participate in the examination process. It is not an automatic right upon receiving an Extra Class license, although that is a prerequisite.
To become accredited, a prospective VE must be confirmed by a Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC). Specifically, a VEC must confirm that the VE applicant meets FCC requirements to serve as an examiner. This usually involves possessing the requisite license class (currently General, Advanced, or Extra for testing all elements) and formally registering with the VEC organization.
