The College of Optometrists

do we need to pay for the resit/s? or does the college cover the 1st resit? (little confused)

college,you've paid them already,why not call them and confirm

I've looked through the Pre-reg handbook, previously I would have said you had to pay a fee for your resits on top of your initial fee. With the increase in fees and the lack of clarity in the Handbook this year it is not at all clear if this is now the case. The handbook states that you can apply for details of the fees to the College, I would suggest you do that. I'd appreciate you letting us know what the situation is!

The resit fees are explained in bold on the EX2 examination application form.

For this year only, for those candidates who are taking resits for the first time, do not need to pay for them. (This can be all 10 or just 1 subject).

Should they require a 2nd resit attempt in December the fees will be £280 per section.

Timetables for the resits will be posted to candidates in the 2nd week of August. This is also explained in the 'What happens next' letter candidates received from the assessment board.

I hope this helps.
