choosing, including creating their own forms. Upon completion of the

and will then issue a certificate for successful completion of an amateur
radio operator examination (CSCE) if the applicant is successful. The VEs
will send all necessary information regarding a candidate to the
Volunteer-Examiner Coordinator (VEC) coordinating the examination session.
