Fees and costing

For applicants and registrants:

The cost of Professional Registration is determined by:

• Your application route:
  • either through a Licenced Professional Body (Please visit their webpages or contact the relevant Licenced 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 Licenced Body

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

When you first apply, there is an application fee payable at the beginning of the process to cover the costs of the support we provide to you. In addition to this, there is also your registration fee (which differs between registers).
