Course fees
The fee for the RMCI course is £2,250.00 (VAT exempt), including the examination. This includes the cost of the pre-course webinars, the supply of the RMCI Handbook in hard copy, two days of tuition, the half-day examination, plus lunch and refreshments at the venue. It is your responsibility to source suitable accommodation and to meet this cost 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 card and a listing on this website. Also included in the cost of your course is one years’ FREE Technician Membership of International Institute of Marine Surveying.
