Heraldry Proficiency Program - Registration and Fees

You must register for the examination and pay the approved fees before you are enrolled in the Heraldry Proficiency Courses. The three courses are to be taken sequentially. There are no examination waivers for prior study or equivalencies provided for individuals who have completed other heraldic courses. All new applicants should register first for the Level 1 Proficiency Course and Examination.

Fees and Instructions

The fees for the various Heraldry Proficiency Courses are as follows. Please note that there is a significant differential in the registration fee for Society members and non-members.
 

The fees include the cost of the examination and the certificate of completion, but do not include the cost of textbooks, any fee charged by the examination invigilator or the cost of other materials the student may require. These are the responsibility of the student. The Society provides some study materials at no cost to the student and some RHSC publications are available for purchase from the Society at a discount for those signed up for the course. See the References sections found in both Level 1 and Level 2.
