7/7/2008 10:00:00 PM

The ACS Board have regrettably agreed to increase application fees for candidates for all applications received on and after 1st January 2009. Rates will increase by £25 for all categories.

Regrettably, costs of running the ACS assessment scheme have increased considerably since the last review and fee change in 2005, as particularly travel expenses for assessors have increased markedly.

The new fees from January 1 2009 will be as follows.

Applicants who are members of approved professional bodies will receive a subsidy from that body to reduce thier ACS application fees as shown.  The list of professional bodies subsidising application fees is given on the application form and on the website. 

(Please note - you must be a full member of the listed organisation - those with trade union only membership of the Federation of Clinical Scientists do not qualify for this subsidy.)

    Members of ACS Member Professional Bodies:

• 4-year route              - £150.00
• 6-year route              - £190.00
