Question
Who must observe the administration of a Technician class license examination?
Answer Options
- A) At least three Volunteer Examiners of General class or higher
- B) At least two Volunteer Examiners of General class or higher
- C) At least two Volunteer Examiners of Technician class or higher
- D) At least three Volunteer Examiners of Technician class
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
To ensure the integrity and fairness of the license examination process, the FCC requires a specific number of Volunteer Examiners (VEs) to be present and to administer a test session. For any examination element, including the Technician class (Element 2), FCC Rule \S 97.509(\text{3})(\text{i})(\text{c}) requires that at least three accredited VEs must be present and observe the administration of the examination.
Furthermore, all three of these VEs must hold a license of General class or higher, meaning a Technician class operator cannot be one of the three VEs administering the Technician exam. This ensures the necessary level of qualification and oversight for every testing session.
