For some of the level 2 exams we are now fully booked for all the spaces we can offer (restricted unfortunately due to COVID precautions) and I have spoken to the RHS about other centres. Not many colleges are offering to take externals at all (though Chichester has hired extra space for exams) but the venue that the RHS have organised at the Bath and West showground has a very large capacity still.
If you aren't able to travel there, please don't panic if you can't sit exams in February - there will be further exam rounds in June 2021, February 2022 and June 2022 and almost certainly February 2023.
Once COVID restrictions are lifted the pressure on space will be reduced and there will be more spaces at centres.
If you could not book onto a specific exam at Ryton/North Moreton and would like to be on a waiting list for cancellations, please contact enquiries@bestinhorticulture.co.uk and leave your details - but don't do this if you book a place elsewhere as you will probably not get a refund of your exam fees and booking charge - only if you are waiting for June.
There is NO PRESSURE on space for level 3 exams at our centres so please use the website to book these. You have until the end of December to book exams.
