I get really stressed and nervous during tests. They made it an enjoyable experience and helped relieve some of the stress before I tested for my Technician. Afterwards, they gave some ideas for beginners that helped me out.

How's it going, Andrew We’re glad Go AL1S helped make it a stress-free experience, and our team helped put you at ease! You brought the preparation, and we were happy to provide a calm, friendly place to take that next step. Congratulations on passing!
The team was very professional and helpful in getting me set up. I was having some difficulty getting set up with zoom on my mobile device and they helped me feel more relaxed so I was able to keep my focus on the test. They were very supportive through the whole process. When I passed the test, they were very welcoming into the community of ham radio. It was a very positive experience all around.

Great testing experience! The friendly team was at the ready and had open availability, was extremely patient with me through the setup and test, and helped me pass! I just got my technician and I'm going back for my General when I can. Staff was personable and genuinely cares about what they do, a lovely group of people!

I can’t say enough about this organization. GoAL1S has made online amateur radio exams so stress free. I was really worried that I might be too old to understand the process, but the VEs at GoAL1S eased my mind and easily walked me through everything. It was great too that they talked with me after the test and now I know my next steps in my journey to my amateur extra license. Thanks again for a great experience. I’ll be back for my next exam.

I had a great experience using GO AL1S to take my Amateur Radio Technician exam — and I PASSED! 🎉📻 The whole process was pretty straightforward. Since the exam is done online through Zoom, there are a few logistical things you have to do beforehand. There were four observers on the session to make sure everything was done properly. You need two cameras running — one facing you and another showing your computer monitor. They also make sure your testing area is clear and that there’s no outside assistance. At first, all the camera and room setup seemed like a lot, but once everything was in place, the actual exam process was very smooth. What I really liked was how convenient it was. I had been dragging my feet about taking the exam for a while. I kept telling myself I was going to do it, but it was always getting pushed to the back burner. Finally, I said, "Okay, I've got to do this now!" I checked GO AL1S's availability around 3 PM, booked an exam, and by about 8 PM that same evening, I was taking the test. That was exactly what I needed — no weeks of waiting around and finding another excuse to put it off! And the follow-up was just as fast. The next day, my results had already been sent to the FCC. By around noon, I received the notice to pay the FCC fee and submit my application. Now I'm hoping that within another couple of days I'll have my callsign! Overall, I'm really happy with the experience. The process is organized, the exam security procedures make sense, and the convenience of being able to schedule an exam on short notice is a huge plus. If you've been procrastinating about getting your license like I was, just book the exam and get it done! 😄 Thanks, GO AL1S!
