Congratulations to all 15 candidates who recently took their Basic Assessment. All were successful receiving either a pass or a credit. I will contact you when certificates and badges are available. The next Basic Assessments will take place in Summer 2019.

The closing date for the next Module Exams is 30th September 2018. Exams will take place on 10th November at a local venue (tbc). If anyone is considering sitting an exam this Autumn please download your application forms here and return to Nicky Hine by the end of this month. I need either your original application or a good quality scan. (FYI 23rd March 2019 is the following exam date).

BBKA offer correspondence courses which currently cost £60 however SBKA is offering to pay this fee if you form a study group of 4 or more members. Please register your interest by filling in the form on our website. You don’t have to sit the exam to join a study group – you could just take the course out of interest.
