Volunteer Examiners are accredited by what organization?
The correct answer is C: A Volunteer Examiner Coordinator. Volunteer Examiners are accredited by a Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC). VECs are organizations authorized by the FCC to coordinate volunteer examiner programs. They train, accredit, and oversee VEs. For Volunteer Examiners, understanding this helps when seeking accreditation. VECs like ARRL VEC, W5YI VEC, and others provide VE accreditation services.
Exam Tip
VE accreditation = Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC). Think 'V'E 'A'ccreditation = 'V'EC 'A'uthorizes. VECs are organizations authorized by FCC to accredit VEs. Not FCC directly, not ULS, not WTB - VECs handle accreditation.

Real-World Application
You want to become a Volunteer Examiner. You contact a VEC (like ARRL VEC) and complete their training and accreditation process. The VEC accredits you as a VE, allowing you to administer exams. The FCC authorizes VECs to do this accreditation, but the VEC handles the actual process.

Why Other Options Are Wrong
Option A (FCC): Incorrect. The FCC doesn't directly accredit VEs - VECs do the accreditation on behalf of the FCC. The FCC authorizes VECs but doesn't accredit individual VEs.
Option B (Universal Licensing System): Incorrect. ULS is the FCC's licensing database system, not an organization that accredits VEs. VECs handle accreditation.
Option D (Wireless Telecommunications Bureau): Incorrect. WTB is an FCC bureau, not an organization that accredits VEs. VECs handle the accreditation process.
