Only 3 weeks to exam date!!!! No-one panic
The Second best thing you can give your children is a good education

One week to postpone in my book. Aaarrghhh....
As I understand it there are two exam periods each year where only ONE module may be completed.
So it's 3.5 yrs to do all seven.
Have I understood that correctly.
I think you've misunderstood.
Nowadays, all Module exams are to be offered twice each year. /// http://www.beekeepingforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=25408
And you are permitted to sit up to 4 on the same day.
So you'll be able to do it in less that one year!
Ah great, 1 year hmmm.
Maybe I'll give it a go but I'll need to get one of those Marvo the Memory Man books !!
Thanks
After 30 years of beekeeping do you really need the badge ?
I can't remember what I had for breakfast sometimes and the prospect of sitting in an exam room after a break from exams of over 45 years leaves me not even knowing my name - couple that with having to write legibly (rather than type !) .... no chance for me !! Even if I wanted to ....
As to the exams, the great thing at my (our) age is that I couldn't care less if I fail.
You'd really sit an exam you couldnt care less about the result ?!
Setting yourself up for a fall IMHO
Not really if I'm honest, but having had a 5 yr break it wouldn't hurt, besides it won't be long before you need a licence to keep bees and a requirement for qualification being a requisite. (controversial bit over ) Truth is there is much I can learn and with my memory failing it might be useful to keep refreshing it.

Why not? It's mostly a hobby, and the skills aren't readily transferable.You'd really sit an exam you couldnt care less about the result ?!
They only list the successes in the magazine, so there isn't much to lose.
