From 2025, we will introduce an online version of the SCE exam which is taken using a proctoring service. This is available for candidates within the UK and internationally.               

Delivery is the same as the centre-based exam in terms of content and format, so you should prepare in the same way as you normally would. Further information can be found here

Fee information is as follows.
