UK Foundation Exam Practical Assessments

/

Following a meeting of the RSGB Examinations Standards Committee at which Ofcom was represented, the pre-COVID mandatory Foundation practical requirements are, with immediate effect, permanently removed.

If clubs want to retain a practical element of training to support the learning of their candidates, either as demonstrations or hands-on, they are strongly encouraged to do so.
