These fees are valid from 01 January 2020. All these fees are exempt from VAT.
All payments are subject to AMTRA’s standard terms and conditions: in particular all enrolment fees are inclusive of the exam fee only on condition that the exam is sat within 24 months of enrolment. If the exam is sat after that date, an additional fee will be charged to keep a student registration active. If a candidate withdraws from an exam within four weeks of the exam, an additional fee is charged.

The enrolment fee includes the exam fee for the modules selected at enrolment (provided all the modules are sat at the same time). However, the exam must be sat within 24 months otherwise a supplementary fee is payable.
That fee is £25 plus any increase between the enrolment fee due when the exam is sat and the enrolment fee originally paid.
£50 fee if a candidate cancels (including failing to show for the exam) less than two weeks before the exam.
£30 fee if a candidate cancels between 4 and 2 weeks prior to the exam.
Note that cancellation/withdrawal includes substituting one individual for another within the same company.
Although the fee is a cancellation/withdrawal fee, it is payable upon re-booking for a fresh exam.
For candidates making a second or subsequent attempt at any of the modules involved in their original enrolment:
| Re-sit fee | |
| one module | £170 |
| two modules | £235 |
| three modules | £290 |
| four modules | £360 |
| viva (oral) | £65 |
For those who are adding modules to those chosen when making their original enrolment:
When paid by 30 November 2020 for the following year:
A discount of £2 per person is available to those paying by the due date either online on the AMTRA website (either as individuals or smaller businesses paying for multiple RAMAs), or for larger businesses managing their RAMAs’ renewals on their behalf in an agreed manner.
A late payment fee is charged on those renewing after 30 November 2020 but by 31 March 2021, making the total fee £59 for all categories of RAMA. After this, the reinstatement fee is payable.
Those seeking reinstatement after more than 6 months off the AMTRA Register will be required to demonstrate that they have kept up to date, either by having gained their full current CPD points obligation within the last 24 months, or sitting and passing the “CPD exam”. Additional obligations may need to be met for longer periods: please check with the AMTRA office for details.
The fee to transfer a student enrolment from one candidate to another candidate within six months of the original enrolment is £75. Such a transfer can only be made with the written permission of the first candidate.
The normal fee to apply for approval as an examination centre is £200, plus travel and accommodation costs of the member of Harper Adams University staff who will visit the site, but for a trial period this fee is being waived. Please contact us for further information if you are interested in applying to become an approved examination centre: we would be keen to hear from new centres.
