Exam Calendar & Fees

Examination Calendar 2025

New exam fees and a revised fee structure have been introduced for 2025. There are now different fees for candidates based on membership status (member or non-member) and location (UK or international). For more details, you can read further here, and the full list of exam fees is provided below.

If you’re interested in becoming a member to take advantage of reduced exam fees, you can apply today, by applying here. You must be a paid-up member in good standing at the point of application. Please be advised it can take around 24 hours for membership fees to show on your account and to benefit from reduced exam fees, so please ensure you have paid your membership fees at least 24 hours before the application window opens. For any questions regarding membership, please contact the membership team via phone (020 7404 1999, option 1 for member services), email (membership@rcem.ac.uk), or use LiveChat by clicking the icon at the bottom right corner.

The new 2025 fees recognise the different resources needed to deliver each exam, ensuring that standards are maintained. The reduced rates for members are designed to encourage candidates to join the College and make use of our RCEMLearning platform, which supports exam preparation

We are required to comply with tax regulations in the countries where we provide services such as exams or events. In some countries there are no additional taxes levied on the services the College provides, however in others there can be a range of liabilities which must be paid.

These taxes include, but are not limited to, digital services taxes, value-added taxes, or goods and services taxes that apply to online services such as exams, membership, or events. 

Where such tax obligations exist, it is the responsibility of the candidate or member to meet those costs. 

Any applicable tax amount will be added to the candidate or member’s account and must be paid in addition to the respective exam fee.

Taxes apply to both Theory and OSCE (practical) exams and are determined based on the candidate’s country of residence, NOT the location where the exam is taken.

These tax rates are set by the respective governments and are beyond the College’s control. The College is obligated to collect and pass on these taxes in accordance with local laws.

As of June 2025, the following countries apply taxes to our services:

• Bangladesh
• Egypt
• India
• Oman
• Saudi Arabia
• UAE

Please note that this list may be updated and we reserve the right to apply taxes to our fees as necessary.
