Nothing works quite as well, or as permanently, as military radio op school.  Once in, there is no turning back.  There are incentives to push onward and finish.

But, I don't recommend it... unless you have other reasons.

I have used and am brushing up again with K7QO's code course. Definitely recommend it. I found a little here: https://www.kkn.net/~k7qo/

Unfortunately Chuck's site seems to be offline.

Hope he's OK.

But bits can be found from the Web Archive. Eg here's the manual:

As of 2015, the United States Air Force still trains ten people a year in Morse.

Must be an Elite Squad.

Like the Services training I can guarantee that 6 months of Mr Baker you WILL be copying CW and you WILL be writing it down on a pad and it WILL be 100% perfect copy.

But nowdays you are not are not allowed to tell people to shut up sit down and get the phones on NOW,  CT The Daily Telegraph page 27 column 1 BT and off he would go.

There were various other classes mixed into the day, but every day had at least 1 hour of morse along with classes in radio theory, fault finding, etc etc.
