Course fees
The fee for our RMCI course is £2,250 (VAT exempt), including the examination.
This includes:
- Two days of webinars
- a hard copy of our RMCI Manual
- four days of in-person tuition, including examinations
- plus lunch and refreshments at the venue
It is your responsibility to find suitable accommodation, along with your travel and subsistence.
Please note, if you choose not to sit the examination, you will receive a certificate of attendance and record of studies only and cannot achieve the formal qualification. This means you will not become formally recognised, nor obtain the benefit of a five-year ID card and a listing on this website. Also included in the cost of your course is one years’ FREE Technician Membership of the International Institute of Marine Surveying.

Deposit and payment terms
A non-refundable deposit in the sum of £500 is required to secure your place, with the remaining balance of £1,750 to be paid in full no later than 4 weeks before the commencement.
We accept major debit and credit cards. We are happy to invoice companies directly, but once again the fees must be paid in accordance with the above. Once booked, the price of the course is guaranteed and will be free of surcharges.
Your place will be reserved on the course when we receive your booking confirmation and deposit. We reserve to the right to offer you an alternative course location (or a full refund) in the event we do not meet our minimum number of 8 delegates per course.
Non-attendance
If you do not attend a course for whatever reason and you have not previously informed us, the full course fee remains payable.
Late arrivals and missed sessions
If you arrive late for the course or are absent from any session, we reserve the right to refuse to accept you if the Course Director feels you will gain insufficient knowledge or skill in the time remaining. In all such cases, the full course fee remains payable.
Cancellation by you
In the event of a cancellation made by you, the refund policy is as follows:
- Cancellation 14 days prior to start of course: a refund of the remaining balance of the course in the sum of £1,750 applies
- Cancellation 14 – 8 days prior to start of course: a refund of 50% of the remaining balance in the sum of £875 applies
- Cancellation 7 days or less prior to start of course: no refund applies
Cancellation by us
In the unlikely event that we have to cancel the course, you will be given as much notice as possible and offered either a free transfer to another course date, or a full refund of fees.
Transfer to another course
In the event you wish to transfer to another course, the deposit already paid of £500 is not transferable, therefore a further deposit of £500 will need to be paid against the new course booking.
