UK Exam bookings at New Prices

Early in February 2024, the RSGB announced that the fees for Foundation, Intermediate and Full level examinations would increase from 1 May 2024.

You can now use the online booking system to book an exam prior to 1 May 2024 at the current price, or select exam dates from 1 May 2024 at the new prices.

Please ensure you make the correct date selection, as booking errors that need to be changed may incur an administration fee as outlined in the exam terms and conditions.
