FAQs

How do I change my address on the exam application form?

You can write your new address on the application form. Please also inform us by emailing exam.payments@rya.org.uk so that we can update our records for you. We will need your name, date of birth and customer/order number from your confirmation email.

I haven't received the email containing my application form

Please check your spam/junk folder to see if your email has been marked as spam. The email will be sent from exam.payments@rya.org.uk.

If you still do not receive your form after one working day you can request a duplicate by emailing exam.payments@rya.org.uk. We will need your name, date of birth and order number from your confirmation email. Please note that it could take up to one working day for the replacement form to be sent. Office hours are Monday to Friday 0900 to 1700 UK time.

If your exam is going to take place before one working day, please email exam.payments@rya.org.uk, or call 02380 604158 quoting your order number and we will arrange for the exam application form to be resent as soon as possible. The format of the order number is SW123456789.

I have lost the email containing my application form

Please email exam.payments@rya.org.uk so that we can email you a duplicate form. We will need your name, date of birth and customer/order number from your confirmation email.

I entered my email address incorrectly. How do I correct it?

Please send your correct email address to exam.payments@rya.org.uk so that we can email a duplicate form to the right address and correct your records. We will need your name, date of birth and RYA membership/reference number if you have one.

I have accidentally paid twice. How do I get a refund?

If you have paid twice you should have received two application forms. Decide which one you want to keep and then email exam.payments@rya.org.uk so that we arrange a refund for the other application. We will need your name, date of birth and the order number for the payment you wish to cancel, which you can find on your payment confirmation email.

How do I fast track my certificate?

Please call our Certification Team on 023 8060 4158 to pay for the fast track fee over the phone. Once you have done that, clearly mark your exam application form 'Fast Track' so that we can spot it when it arrives and process it quickly for you.

How do I pay for exams for more than one person?

As each exam application needs to be linked to the correct person, each person taking the exam needs their own web account on www.rya.org.uk and must be signed into that account when paying for their exam. However, the same credit or debit card can be used to pay for multiple exams.

How long is my application valid for?

The requirements for these exams, including the exam fee, may change from time to time. To ensure the RYA comply with the most recent conditions set by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency the application form is valid for a period of 6 months. To extend the validity period please contact the RYA Certification department on 00 44 (0)2380 604158 during UK Office hours. You will be asked to confirm that you meet the requirements in place at that time and may be required to pay any difference between the exam fee in place at that time and the fee originally paid.
