What's included

Free club — $0

Everything you need to run a course.

Member club — $149 a year

For running the club as well as the course. Everything a free club has, plus:

Your students' practice is always free. All 1,533 questions, no account needed. Pro seats are optional, for the clubs that want the lessons and explanations too.

What your club gets

Post your course, take sign-ups

Put your next course on your club's page: when it starts, where it meets, what it costs. People sign up right there, and the class page in your console lists who did. One press emails them all the class code. (Free club)

One class code, and how the class is doing

Hand out one code. Students enter it once, under a notice that says the club will see their progress, and you see who's practising and the sections the class keeps missing. A student who leaves the class drops off your list. (Free club)

See who's ready to book

Readiness comes from each student's own recent attempts across the 100 subsections the Basic exam draws from. At 85 of 100 solid, a student is marked ready, so you know who to send to the examiners and who needs another week. (Free club)

Pro seats for your class

Buy SignalPrep Pro for your students: a lesson for every subsection, the explanation behind every question, and the exam simulator. Give a seat to one student or the whole class from the class page. A free club gets 25% off every seat. A Member club pays half price on every seat. Both are flat, with no limit, so the last seat costs what the first one did. (Free club: 25% off · Member club: 50% off)

People and tags, from student to member

Everyone your club knows, on one list: who signed up, who's studying, who's ready, who passed and who joined. The tags move along by themselves as people do, and you can add your own, like Board or Emergency team. (Member club)

Dues and renewal reminders

Members pay by card, or you record an e-Transfer, cash or a cheque. Every payment goes in one ledger and renews the membership the same way. Reminders go out 30 days before, 7 days before and on the day, and stop the moment someone pays. (Member club)

The yearly report for your AGM

A year at the club on one page: how many signed up, studied, passed and joined, and the dues collected, by how they were paid. Print it for the AGM, or send it to anyone who asks how the courses are going. (Member club)

Your page and your repeaters

Edit your club's headline, the about text, where and when you meet, and your links. Confirm your repeaters and they show on your page and in the Get on the air guide, where new hams look for repeaters near them. (Member club)

The Featured club spot

Bid for the top of your province's list on the clubs page, one quarter at a time. The Featured club goes first and is labelled; every other club still shows. (Member club)

The more your club uses SignalPrep, the less each seat costs you. Never more.

Seat discounts are flat, with no cap and no step that raises the price as you buy more. A Member club's $149 spread over more seats only lowers what each one costs.

Questions clubs ask

Is it really free? Yes. A free club runs its courses, posts them, takes sign-ups, hands out a class code and sees how the class is doing, for nothing. Member club is there if you want to run the club's members and dues here too; nothing on the free side depends on it.

Who can claim our club? Someone writing from an address your club has published, or one on your club's own website domain, gets a link by email. Anyone else waits until we've checked with the club.

Do students need an account to practise? No. Anyone can practise without signing up. A student makes an account only to join your class, so you can see how they're doing.

Who sees our students' results? Only students who agree. A student shows up by name only after joining your class under a notice that says the club will see their progress, and drops off when they leave. Anyone practising without an account is never shown by name.

What happens to dues money? It goes straight to your club's account. Card payments settle to your club's own Stripe account and on to its bank; SignalPrep never holds the money. e-Transfers, cash and cheques reach the club as they always have, and you record them.
