Doug,
I should have added; "[i]Examination $89 or Unit of Competency $49 from an RTO (but the RTO may have already charged a considerable amount for the Unit)"[/i]
Typically that RTO Competency Training can cost $250 or $300 for the unit MARC020 or MARO003 required for the LROCP.
Of course one could do the study individually and just take the examination (just like what can happen with the Amateur licence exams).
********************
I just hope that anyone who makes a submission to ACMA understands that the whole issue of initial and on-going licence costs is an entirely separate issue that brings into focus the difference between a class and apparatus licence and the implications to the Amateur Service.
Cheers
