Following a review of the costs associated with delivering Membership and Faculty examinations, the College is increasing examination fees by 3% from 01 January 2024.  
 
The costs for delivering examinations both in Ireland and internationally have risen driven by inflation worldwide.

The 2024 Examinations open for enrolment from August 2023 will be subject to the new fee structure. Any exam candidate working in Ireland can apply for a refund upon successfully passing an exam, under the HSE Clinical Course and Examination Refund Scheme.
