The group that requested this did not want to go that route. With the unpredictable winter weather that we have been having, that's understandable. Instead of the usual routine, we composed a "Technician Class Self Study Guide" which was issued to all the prospective candidates a month ahead of time. We broke down the ARRL License Manual into four manageable chunks. We also provided links to appropriate You Tube videos, as well as other on line resources to accompany the material in the manual.
The session on Saturday will start at 8:00 AM and will break for a one hour lunch period at Noon. We will continue on to about 3:30 PM with exams following at 4:00 PM. The half hour in between will be used to fill out 605 forms and all the other necessary paperwork.
Marv and I will be "going boldly, where we have never gone before"!
Wish us, and our candidates luck!

Way to go Larry! I just finished up a Tech to General class with a couple other Elmers. We did that over 6 Thursday nights for 2 hours a night. Had 11 students and 10 upgraded at the end. Itw as fun, rewarding, and a great technical refresher. Way to be an Elmer!
