17th edition Standalone exam

[Gakure]

A few weeks ago I took some advice from the forumists when I asked about college/institution/Center around kent offering 17th edition standalone exam.
I embarkle on online journey perusing lot of pages without joy, but I have finally found one who are charging £270 for 2hrs exam.
Is that the normal cost ?

Are you sure that is just for the exam, Gakure? if so it's a rip off.

They told me if I don't 3 day course the exam only is £270.
I will ask again

£375

£375

Looking at some of the Training establishments they are talking of £450 plus for course and exam, but that is with a money back guarantee if you don't pass, just goes to show the stupidity of paying nearly 500 quid to learn how to navigate a book, if you are confident you can take and pass the exam then find somewhere else.

Hi - this is the one I used, studied at home and attended for the exam. It's just a bit cheaper at £200

You are right Pete, it's exactly what I want to do, learn to navigate the book myself, then I do exams

Where abouts in kent?
I lived in birchington, margate, westgate & broadstairs when i was a kid. Moved around a lot lol.

You could try calling colleges & seeing if they will book just the online exam?

Some training centres like tradeskills4u, ableskills might start offering free or reduced 18th edition course/exam if you do the 17th first.

No not at all wait for the 18th scam to start, at least that will give you a bit longer as 18th qualified until the IET runs short of cash and comes up with the 19th
