The RSGB Examination Standards Committee is pleased to announce the publication of an updated version of the Direct to Full syllabus.

The significant changes from the previous version are the moving of some points between Section One on Licensing and Section Two on Operating. These changes bring the Direct to Full syllabus into line with the latest version of the three-part syllabus.

You can find the updated syllabus and change documentation on the RSGB website.

These changes will come into effect from January 2026, so please choose the correct version of the syllabus for the date you plan to take your exam.
