Greetings,
I have tasked myself with helping get a few friends setup with the skills needed for taking their VE exams. I would say that all of them are somewhat non technical, and learn most by visual / experience as opposed to sitting down and reading.
I have no problems using real equipment as visual aids, and some know quite a few of the basics after watching me use my equipment already. Honestly, I would say they are 50% taught in the practical for a Tech license just by growing up around people using the equipment.
My issue is, I don't really know what tools to use to help get them their license. I guess I am still somewhat of a younger HAM operator, but due to my work, I really didn't have to study for the tests, as the answers to most were either common sense, or understood based on my work with electronics.
Is there a good interactive training tool that I can work with online, and is using the practice tests on QRZ still a valid cue as to when you are ready for a VE exam?
Thans for any input!!
