Fees and costing

For applicants and registrants:

The cost of Professional Registration is determined by:

• Your application route:
  • either through a Licensed Professional Body (Please visit their webpages or contact the relevant Licensed Professional Body to check their charges);
  • or through the Science Council’s Common Application Process (CAP).
• Your registration award (CSci/CSciTeach/RSci/RSciTech)
• Your chosen Licensed Body

Costs when using the Science Council’s online system (CAP):
