Training is free for club members and is provided on an ad-hoc basis by our training officer to suit individual needs. Structured courses are not offered; instead, support is provided on a one-to-one basis (via video call or email) to facilitate students’ self-learning. This allows students to learn at their own pace, with support available to clarify any complex concepts that may arise. Providing sample test questions and working through examples gives students the confidence and knowledge to sit the exam (Foundation, Intermediate, or Full) for which they are studying.
Although training is offered free to club members, it is expected that students will purchase the RSGB training manuals for themselves here. Currently, it is recommended that students sit the exams using the online, remotely invigilated exam system provided by the RSGB. Visit this page to learn how to book and pay for your exam. The page also contains helpful FAQs, accessible from its right-hand column.
Once you’ve gained that all-important Foundation licence, you’ll want to put all that hard-earned knowledge into practice! Help is available via the RSGB “Beyond Exams” Scheme, which will point you to resources that will help you gain practical skills.
