We review costs annually.
Our fees reflect the direct and indirect operating costs for examinations. These include supplier costs, examiners’ fees, venue hire, and other logistical running costs.
We only use fee income to cover the operating costs of providing exams, not to fund any other activities, and we make no surplus from exam fees.
In reviewing and setting the fees we take into account a number of different factors such as assessment types and curriculum developments. We are committed to keeping all changes proportionate and fair and to ensure exam delivery sustainability.
