American Radio Relay League Training


ARES has established a three-level training spectrum for our volunteers.

Basic is the entry level into ARESĀ®, includes skills learned when obtaining an Amateur Radio license and basic course work.

Intermediate is the skill set desired by ARESĀ® obtained through coursework and training..

Advanced is an increased skill set that initiates a pathway to leadership positions and assignments.

MC ARES Members need to print out a task book to track and document their training levels. MC ARES leadership will verify and sign off on each completed element. The MCARES task book can be downloaded here

The ARRL offers free online EmComm training. All Mahoning County ARES volunteers are encouraged to take these courses.
