Elkins has been teaching FCC licensing courses since 1952. Elkins offers an FCC Preparatory Training class for GROL and for all commercial licenses, permits and endorsements, including GMDSS. All classes are high-intensity, short-term courses. Study guides and testing are available on-site. Elkins has scheduled classes throughout the United States and also tailors classes for corporations or large groups with sufficient numbers to warrant a class in their own facility, with special arrangements.

FCC GROL & GMDSS

The GROL (General Radiotelephone Operator License) is one of the most sought after commercial licenses and is required by law for certain aviation, maritime, international and other communication commercial activities.

A Global Maritime Distress & Safety System (GMDSS) operator and maintainer license is required to operate or maintain the INMARSAT satellite emergency communications system. All ships requiring GMDSS must have systems installed and persons properly licensed with the FCC by February, 1999.

On-Site Classes - Mobile Instructors remove all limitations as to where and when classes can be held. We travel to you, whether you're on a ship, a drilling rig, or in an office building. The cost advantages are significant if you have a minimum number of candidates for training.

96% Pass Rate - All of our instructors are Designated Examiners by The FCC, or Coast Guard approved where appropriate. We deliver the examinations after the training, so our clients leave the program knowing they have earned their permit, license and/or certification.

Satisfaction - Our examiner status enables us to retest if necessary, raising the assurance of successful completion of the material. Further, failure to pass the exam on the second attempt qualifies the client to re-attend the course at any time in the next year, at no charge.

• The MROP class, is taught over a one half-day period, covering FCC Element 1.
• The GROL class, including the radar endorsement, is taught over a four-day period, covering Elements 1, 3 & 8.
• The GMDSS Operator class is taught as part of our USCG approved ten-day GMDSS Operator's Course, covering FCC Elements 1 & 7.
• The GMDSS Maintainer class is taught over a five-day period, covering FCC Elements 1, 3, 8 & 9.

Our world-class instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and have genuine, helpful attitudes - a major contributor to our 96% pass rate, one of the highest in the world. For more information call 1 800-821-0906.
