This W5YI HAMINSTRTUCTOR.com web site has been totally restructured, and is in full swing to serve YOU, our valued instructor.   This new site requires a new site registration / login.  You will receive a confirmation email to confirm your login & email.  Thanks to Allan, WB5QNG!
 
Registered instructors have access to Gordo's 3 INSTRUCTOR GUIDE MANUALS, for Technician, General, and Extra class.   Instructors may also save up to 25% off on classroom W5YI training materials when ordered in quantity.  Each manual lays out logical class outlines, live demonstrations, and each manual follows the Q & A reorganization for easier instruction with like-questions grouped together! This is an exclusive Gordo feature! Download them at RESOURCES, from  WWW.HAMINSTRUCTOR.com, your private web site only available to W5YI registered instructors, elmers, and club training officers.
 
As a W5YI registered instructor, you may download TECHNICIAN CLASS, GENERAL CLASS, AND EXTRA CLASS teaching POWER POINT graphics, thanks to Bob, K3DIO. Go to RESOURCES, and scroll down. These are 3 brand new PowerPoints.  Encourage your students to take practice exams at www.hamstudy.com.  These, too, follow Gordo's reorganized Q & A for easier and more logical teaching. Thanks Bob!
 
All books are now full color, lay reasonably flat, with blue highlights on key words for test taking, plus Gordo's explanations at every question, and access to HAM RADIO CRASH COURSE videos that match specific topic areas in the book. Thanks to YouTube's Josh Ness, KI6NAZ, we now add urls to VIDEOS within each TECHNICIAN CLASS book!
 
Email your students the PRE-STUDY home work, also found in RESOURCES for Instructors to  download. This keeps them working the book between class sessions!
