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

Please note: For those who are accessing our paid for services online from India, there is a requirement from the Indian Government to pay the Online Information Database Access and Retrieval (OIDAR) tax. This means that if you are accessing any of our paid for services online – such as exams, membership, or our online events – there will be an 18% surcharge added to the cost of the service we provide in order for us to meet our obligations to the Indian Government. This rate is set by the Government and the cost, while collected by us as Royal College, is passed directly onto India and is beyond our control. If you require any further clarification or assistance, including any further information about OIDAR tax and how it applies to you or the services we provide then please do not hesitate to contact us.
