FAQ
What is HAREC?
HAREC stands for Harmonised Amateur Radio Examination Certificate. It is a certificate issued by your national authority when you pass a national amateur radio exam that meets the criteria set by CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-02. A HAREC certificate is recognised across all CEPT participating countries, allowing you to obtain a full licence in another country without re-examination.
Is there a single pan-European HAREC exam?
No. There is no central HAREC examination body. Each country designs and administers its own national exam in its own language and format. This course teaches the harmonised HAREC syllabus — the content all national exams must cover.
Which countries does HAREC apply to?
All CEPT member countries that have implemented T/R 61-02, including Germany, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Austria, the Nordic countries, and most of Europe.
What does a HAREC licence allow me to do?
A HAREC-level licence grants access to all amateur frequency bands and modes permitted in your country, at full power as specified by your national authority. Under CEPT T/R 61-01, you can operate temporarily in any participating CEPT country for up to three months without a separate licence.
Is there a Morse code requirement?
No. Mandatory Morse code testing was removed from all CEPT countries following WRC-03. No country in the CEPT framework currently requires a Morse test to obtain a HAREC certificate.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access. Watch at your own pace, re-watch before your exam.
