Preparation for Unit 1 may be undertaken by self-study, although it is strongly advised that at least part is undertaken by supervised instruction. It is expected that Branches will help candidates prepare either by running a short course or by arranging guidance from an experienced RSCDS teacher. There is a fixed schedule of dates for the examination – every second Saturday in February and October. Dates for Unit 1 Written Paper.
Branches may apply (X1-05) to hold the examination locally on one of those dates; there is no minimum number of candidates. Two invigilators are required to supervise the examination. Candidates who do not have a Branch nearby may sit the examination as a Sole Candidate, in which case at least one of the two invigilators must be a person of official standing in the local community (see: Guidelines for Invigilators X1-13). Please note that the following may not act as invigilators in any circumstances:
For candidates whose first language is not English arrangements may be made to have the question-paper and answer-script translated (see: Guidelines for Translation X1-09). Applications to sit Unit 1 with the appropriate examination-fee must be received at Headquarters no later than 6 weeks in advance of the date of the examination.
