Exam dates
DRCOG exam: Saturday 2 October 2021
Venues: Pearson VUE test centres across the UK and ROI – please see further information on our move to computer-based testing.
There are three stages to the booking process:
Candidates must complete an Expression of Interest form for an opportunity to book into available space, by no later than 9 July 2021
- Candidates that have submitted an Expression of Interest form will receive a booking token on 15 July 2021, for an opportunity to book into available space when the booking window opens on 19 July 2021. A booking token does not guarantee a place on the next exam, but an opportunity to book into available spaces. Candidates will have the option to either book into the UK or Republic of Ireland, subject to availability
- Candidates booked into available spaces via the step above will be contacted to schedule a slot in one of Pearson VUE’s test centres by no later than 12 August 2021
Results: Results will be released within 6 weeks following the exam
Certificates will be sent to successful candidates retrospectively, on staff returning to work in the RCOG premises. Candidates will be able to access their exam results letter through the Exam Portal.
