• All courses are sold separately.  Each course covers one single exam.  If you want to pass multiple exams, you should purchase multiple courses.
   
• If a question pool changes during your subscription term, you automatically also get the new question pool, at no additional cost.  We load new question pools and update the courses on the system at least two months before they go into effect, giving you plenty of time to prepare.  During the transition period, students can freely switch between the old and new pools.

• A renewal gives you three more months on all courses you have ever purchased from us (on the same account).  The renewal period starts on the date you renew, not when your previous subscription expired.  (You don't pay for the gap.)
   
• Purchasing any new course "resets the clock" and gives you 3 more months on all previously-purchased courses (on the same account).  For example, instead of renewing the Technician course, you could subscribe to the General course and get full access to both courses for 3 months.  You save the price of a renewal.
   
• We do not give partial refunds or credit for any time remaining on your subscription after you pass the exam.  Our goal is to get you the license.  If we meet that goal, no matter how long or short your studies, then we delivered.
   
• Prices quoted are in U.S. dollars, and all payments must in U.S. funds.
   
• All subscriptions apply to one person only.  You cannot share your account or subscriptions.
   

• HamTestOnline™ does not administer the amateur radio exams, and the price for the course does not include the fee for taking the exam.  To obtain or upgrade a ham radio license, you must attend an exam session administered by an accredited Volunteer Examiner (VE) team, who will check your photo ID and monitor your session to prevent cheating.  Most volunteer examiner teams charge $15 per session, regardless of how many exams you take during the session.  Thousands of our students have saved money on exam session fees by taking more than one course in a single sitting.

During the Ham It Forward™ sale, we are giving every student the Ham It Forward™ discount every day, with no minimum purchase, and no need to email or telephone.  Just sign up online, and you will automatically receive the discount!

Quantity discounts start when you purchase 10 or more courses together in a single transaction:

Total number of courses in transaction	Discount
10-24	5%
25-49	10%
50-99	15%
100+	20%

These quantity discounts apply to the Ham It Forward™ sales price.  However, they cannot be combined with any other discounts.

We would like to see more youth in ham radio!  We therefore offer special pricing on bulk Technician courses for youth groups.  These "youth" subscriptions are identical to our regular subscriptions, but are sold with the condition that they only be used by students under the age of 18:

• $12 for the “youth” Technician course subscriptions, for students under the age of 18, for quantities of 10-24 courses per order.
   
• $10 for the “youth” Technician course subscriptions, for students under the age of 18, for quantities of 25 or more courses per order.

Youth prices cannot be combined with any other discounts.  They are subject to our regular shipping and handling fees, as shown below.

You have three delivery options for gift and bulk purchases:

• The default is for us to send you instructions and subscription codes by email, which you can distribute to the recipients.  We do not charge shipping and handling for this delivery method.
   
• Our subscription certificates are printed on thin card stock, sized 8.5"x3.67" (to fit in a standard #10 business envelope without folding), and contain a subscription code to give access to the courses purchased.  These would be ideal for handing out to members of a class, or in an envelope on the Christmas tree.  We send these by USPS First Class or Priority Mail, and charge $0.10 shipping and handling fee per subscription certificate, subject to a minimum shipping and handling fee of $1.00 per order, sent to the same mailing address:

• Our shrink-wrap product is an 8.5"x11" piece of cardboard sandwiched between two sheets of paper, all shrink-wrapped together, which gives a more substantial feel than the subscription certificates.  They have a subscription code under a peel-off sticker to give access to the course purchased.  Because the subscription code is hidden until the shrink-wrap and peel-off sticker are removed, these are ideal for a store display, or for a raffle or door prize.  We send these by USPS First Class or Priority Mail, and charge a $10.00 shipping and handling fee for the first shrink-wrap product, and $2.00 for each additional one in the same order sent to the same postal address.
