Take your RHS Level 2 exam online
The RHS now allow Learning with Experts students (and other remote students) to take their RHS Level 2 exams online, rather than on a face-to-face basis.
These exams will be fully invigilated remotely, so you will have to meet strict requirements for authentication and conduct.
How to organise your online exam:Please contact RHS Qualifications (qualifications@rhs.org.uk) as soon as possible if you would like to book an online exam.
You will be asked to undertake a very short demo exam in the location and on the computer that you intend to use for the exam. This is to ensure that your system is set up correctly and that any issues are sorted out well before the exams. (Responses in the demo exam do not count in any way towards your qualification.)
No entries will be accepted for online exams after the exam deadline.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with qualifications@rhs.org.uk

How do RHS exams work online?Before your exams take place you'll be contacted to take a demo exam. RHS staff will check your set up and you'll get the chance to test how the online exam works.
On the day of the exam you'll be asked to upload a photo of your ID.
During the exam you have to stay on screen throughout the whole exam. You can't communicate with other people or leave your desk, and you can't use other devices throughout the exam.
