Further Information
The examinations for the Royal Statistical Society are held in May each year, so you should think carefully about the study time you have available from now until next April. You should plan a 24 week study session leaving time for holidays and a final revision period before the examinations in May.
A rough guide to the minimum number of years study needed for each examination is:
- Ordinary Certificate: 1 year
- Higher Certificate: 2 years
In choosing your courses you should pay attention to the Society's regulations on the order in which examinations can be attempted.
Choose a scheme of study which you think you can manage comfortably, complete the application forms and send them to us together with the course fees. We will acknowledge your application by sending you a suggested study programme.
