While the exam is set by the New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters, Inc (NZART) the sitting of the exam is supervised by approved local licensed operators. Several months ago the first student from Kuranui College, Rhys Kill, gained a pass and now anotherstudent Sam Clouston (pictured) has gained a pass. It is exceptional to have this occur within a year.
Several senior members of the South Wairarapa Branch of NZART – known as Branch 82 – have been running tuition classes in Basic Electronics which hopefully will give the students a helping hand into future job opportunities and lifestyle.
