The Wireless Institute of Australia is pleased to announce the release of the 5th Edition of the Foundation Licence Manual, continuing the WIA's commitment to providing high-quality education and training resources for people entering amateur radio.
With the release of the new edition, the WIA has moved the Foundation Licence Manual to a print-on-demand service model. This makes ordering simpler and more flexible, with manuals printed and posted directly to individuals, prospective amateurs and affiliated clubs.
Order one – or order for your whole training course
The new print-on-demand arrangement provides considerable flexibility for WIA affiliated clubs, trainers and assessors.
Manuals can be ordered individually or in bulk quantities of 5, 10, 20 or more copies, making the service particularly useful for clubs running Foundation Licence training courses or preparing for upcoming assessment activities.
The 5th Edition can be ordered directly from Books Online Australia:

The WIA websites will be updated over the next few days to direct visitors to the new print-on-demand ordering service.
A major contribution to amateur radio education
Producing a new edition of the Foundation Licence Manual involves an enormous amount of reviewing, writing, editing and production work.
The WIA extends a special thank you to Phil Wait VK2ASD and his production team for their considerable effort in producing the 5th Edition and delivering another high-quality learning resource for Australian amateur radio.
The Foundation Licence is the entry point into amateur radio for many Australians, and providing newcomers with accessible and contemporary learning material is an important part of supporting the future of the hobby.
The new print-on-demand model also makes it easier for affiliated clubs to keep training materials available without needing to maintain large stocks of manuals. Clubs can simply order the number they need for their next course and have them delivered directly.
Whether you're preparing for your own Foundation qualification, helping a friend get started, or organising your club's next Foundation training course, the 5th Edition WIA Foundation Licence Manual is now ready to help the next generation get on air.
