PRACTICAL EXAMS
Every year we run a series of practical exams in the summer months, where you can demonstrate your practical beekeeping skills and knowledge, and receive the recognition you deserve for all that you know and do!
There are different levels of practical exams, so if you’ve been keeping bees for a few years why not consider sitting our Basic Beekeeping Certificate (or Junior Beekeeper if under 16). For the more experienced beekeepers, we have our Intermediate and Apiarian certificates.
Information about each of these exams can be found by clicking on them or by visiting the Education pages on this website, click here.
To register and pay to sit an exam, please use the link provided in this Event listing or visit https://form.jotform.com/250404948495364
The deadline for registering to sit any of these exams is the 13th of April.
