The FCC does not administer commercial operator license examinations. To obtain a new or upgraded FCC commercial operator
license, you must pass an examination administered by a COLEM. The COLEMs listed below are authorized by the FCC to administer
examinations nationwide and, in some instances, at foreign sites. Upon passing the examination(s), the COLEM will issue
you one or more Proof of Passing Certificates (PPCs) that you must include with your license application (unless the application
is filed electronically by the COLEM).
