Certainly! It’s a bit of an unspoken duty to encourage others to get licensed. It’s one of the accomplishments I most adore.

You can do it in person, but hamstudy should also provide remote options as well. I did mine from a beach on a Pacific Island!

I assume you’re in the US, so you can use hamstudy.org. From there you can schedule your exam online and take it online. I did my Tech from a beachside resort in Philippines during the pandemic, and my General and Extra from an AirBnB in New Mexico. Two of my examiners were Australian, and each of them in different parts of the US as well.

With daily study, you should be able to knock out each license level in about a month each.

There isn’t much risk being unlicensed

This is awful advice considering how utterly simple it is to get licensed.

Speaking for US licensees, one only needs to memorize the question bank (legal and encouraged) and take the exam.

It can be done remotely. I did all of mine remotely, and have never set foot in any club or classroom.

Operating without a license will quickly become apparent to any experienced operator. Do not do this.
