IF the candidate passes, an Examination Result Notification (ERN – blue form) form must be completed by the Examiner.
This number must be included in the Candidate's Record form, under the candidate's name.
The Examiners must send a completed Application for Call Sign form, a passport sized photograph of the candidate, and the blue ERN form to:
NZART Headquarters,
Box 40-525,
Upper Hutt. 5140
The candidate will receive their Call Sign and Certificate of Competency and the blue ERN form back from the ARX. The Candidate MUST KEEP the blue ERN form as this is their personal record of the examination pass.
Call signs take the form ZLnAB or ZLnABC where "n" is a number, 1 to 4 and "N" stands for your chosen letters. Not all preferred call signs are available therefore it is suggested where possible to check in a recent NZART call-book.
