Explain what VECs and VEs do, how an exam session is run, and what happens to the paperwork afterward.
Syllabus: Volunteer examiner program: definitions; qualifications; preparation and administration of exams; reimbursement; accreditation; question pools; documentation requirements
Practise the 11 pool questions for this group. Answers are shuffled, and every one comes with a one-line "why".
A VEC is an organization with an FCC agreement to coordinate, prepare and administer exams. It maintains the question pools, and confirms that a VE applicant meets the FCC requirements. VEs are the volunteers who give the exam.
RememberThe VEC accredits and keeps the pools. The FCC doesn't.
Every administering VE is responsible for conduct and supervision, not just a session manager. Rule-breakers are stopped at once, and fraud costs the VE their licenses.
A failed exam: hand the application back to the examinee. A pass: three VEs certify, then the team submits the paperwork to the VEC.
