When you are a BRATS member you could take as short a time or a long, as you wish before you take your exam but the conditions are :-
The current mandatory Foundation practical requirements, as
detailed in Section 10 of Syllabus 2019 v1.5, are, with
immediate effect, permanently removed.
The Examinations and Syllabus Review Group (ESRG) and the ESC
will consider whether it is desirable to reinstate some
mandatory practical tests, which are compatible with distance
learning and remote examination, and details will be included
in the forthcoming syllabus revision (version 2). The amateur
radio community will be consulted on these as part of the
syllabus v.2 consultation.
You may carry out self study from the web site and the RSGB book on the Foundation licence, but as a member of the BRATS you can take advantage of back up of the club's tutors by email / short sessions at club nights when there are no other activities such as a formal talks / presentations.
You could as a student take as little as 5 weeks to pass your Foundation examination from the date of your Practical Assessments !!
With that in mind enjoy your self studies and contact us if you would like more information on the BRATS.
