Hi, Ian. If you want to get your Foundation Licence (new entry level) or your Standard Licence (replaces Novice with extra bands and power) then there are distance learning courses through the WIA and Westlakes Radio Club you can do. I can send you some info if you want. The practical part of the test needs hands-on practice, but your friend can help you with that aspect. The good thing is for entry these days - no morse requirement! Mind you, I still use morse a lot myself.
Cheers!
