In years where there is no residential Candidate Course, TAC, in cooperation with RSCDS Scotland, will set up examination centres in eastern and western North America or as needed.  A centre needs a minimum of 6 candidates to make it viable but it is quite common for more isolated candidates to add to the numbers by traveling to the nearest centre for the exam, having been trained in their local area.

Any Branch wishing to become a centre, any tutors with potential candidates, and anyone interested in taking the courses leading to the exams should contact Examinations Coordinator, Gael Forster at This email address is being protected from spambots.
