The cheapest way would be to get the books online and then self study.

List of examiners are here, looks like you have your choice of Vic, Van or nanaimo:

https://www.cps-ecp.ca/ecommerce/cou..._class_id=4487

You can also register for a self-study class at that link too, save you hunting around for the books but will cost a bit more.

The CPS course alctel mentioned can also be taken online currently, with the examination on Skype or Zoom. This is a COVID exception and may not persist.

Re: VHF license Vancouver or Nanaimo?

I took mine through local power squadron last year. studied online and had the live zoom exam which was oral and not open book which was a little nerve racking. when they quiz you try to avoid your eyes darting to your cheat sheets, lol. Pro tip: have them near your camera so your eye gaze is fairly forward.

Sounds fun. All us old folks could use updates. Boaters have their own style within the rules which adds to the charm. It’s all logic and manners like a by law.
