Different. When we pass the exams for the various licenses here, you are issued with a "Certificate of Proficiency", and you quote the certificate number(s) when you apply for a license. The certificates are good for life. I have 2, 1 for Novice (similar to yours I think) and 1 for Limited. (sorta like Technician?) Different system. I did morse @ 5wpm to get my novice, Limited is same as full call, minus morse, so I only need morse @ 10wpm to get my full license. (Full call is the top of the list - we don't have extra class or anything like it) You only need a retest if you have had your license/certificate cancelled for some reason, (and usually not even then - it's an option they can throw at you) or some (detected!) major on air stuffup.
