NICEIC Certification Scheme For all who’s planning to do the NICEIC. E-Learning 17th edition course be warned.

[Markc]

I’ve just completed the course and online revision test and now can sit the online exam at a Gola centre. The course was £399 which includes the exam so a significant saving for the four days at a local college as I done it at home in the evening. After completing the course there is no information on how to book the exam so I rang around the local centres to book one. They all told me I would have to pay for the exam as they don’t recognise the E-learning course. The price started at £80 and went up to the full course cost of £450!!!!! I rang the NICEIC who told me that it’s not a problem and they will send me a list of centres where I can sit the exam. The list read, London, Manchester, Essex, Derbyshire, Dunstable, Bexley heath, Birmingham, Croydon, Port Talbot, Cheshire, Exeter, Bristol, Grimsby, Basingstoke, York, Cumbria, Blackpool and Aberdeen. GREAT I live in Norwich so my nearest centre is just over two hour drive each way plus two hour for exam meaning a full day unpaid. Rang NIC back again and asked if I could get £80 back from the course to be able to sit the exam locally just to be told No. Now I’m going to pay the additional £80 to do it in Norwich rather than travelling but I think yet again the NICEIC have show their true colours on how they have changed recently in screwing there own members. The course details promotes cost saving by being able to only take two hours out of work to sit the exam. True if you live in one of the places listed but what about the rest. I think its miss leading. I know £80 isn’t going to break the bank but it’s the principal of it. So be warned it may not save you what you think.

After several heated telephone conversations the NICEIC are now sitting the exam in Norwich at a local hotel so I am now able to sit it without havng to lay out more money. I expect its a one off and there may be several other people who have also made the same comments. Thank you NICEIC but may be have this sorted before starting the course next time.

Down here in Brizzol at Filton College they're charging £350 for a 3-day course for the training and exam (and IIRC includes a resit).
