Ahh seem's like he's updated the Intermediate course since the RSGB updated the course parameters. I'm guessing the Foundation course has also been updated and he's either working on it or not. I've heard great things about Essex Ham.

I think it's probably worth saying, for anyone that's dithering, that the foundation course is very easy to get through (if it's been said, sorry, I missed it).
Indeed, foundation is quite simple, rote learning will get you through it, and the recent licence changes make it a much more useful ticket than it used to be. Which annoys a lot of 'classic' amateurs.
Being located in N. Ireland however, I notice that there's a bit of a groundswell in Ireland to bring in a foundation equivalent licence there. Not sure where the rest of Europe sits. It's a matter of maintaining sufficient numbers of users of amateur allocated bandwidth... It's important.

I think I'd like to see an earlier opportunity to use the license abroad. I'm a button presser not a solderer and if the kit off the shelf is the same the only issue is knowing the 'local' frequency boundaries and a few bits of varying legislation. At the minute it's the only inspiration to get the full license.
