Specialty Certificate Examination dates and fees
Fees are shown below.
Examination dates
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
