Training Plan Task Book
Task Book
The Task Book is a working document that enables those ARES® communicators electing to participate
in the ARRL training plan to track and document their training plan elements as they are completed
towards the various levels of increasing proficiency. The Task Book should contain all training plan
items, completion dates and sign-offs as the ARES® communicator transitions through the three skill
levels. The ARES® communicator is responsible for maintaining his/her Task Book and having it with
him/her during training and assignments. The Task Book also contains sections with definitions of the
communicator levels, as well as common responsibilities.
Since the Task Book is personal to each ARES Communicator, each user should feel free to adapt it to
their needs and requirements of their geographical region.
Recommendations of minimum proficiencies and skills per level are listed. ECs, at their discretion,
can
add or substitute skills that they consider important. Prior known experience may be substituted for
some listed tasks. It is suggested that items in the proficiency/skills section be used in training sessions
or for meetings/events presentations.
NOTE: the approving EC should meet/exceed the qualifications for each level they are signing off on.
ADDITIONAL NOTE:
At the end of this Task Book is a change log page that communicators should use
to keep track of changes to the Task Book.
Skill Levels
Level 1 - Entry level into ARES®, includes skills learned when obtaining an Amateur Radio license
