How do I apply for an exemption?

Step 1
Download and print off the Exemptions form at the top of this page.

Step 2
Read the exemption handbook and guidelines to see what exemptions you are entitled to. 

An exemption will be counted as the minimum pass mark in that subject.

Step 3
Complete the form by ticking the exemptions you are claiming. Do not forget to date and sign the form.

Step 4
All Applications must be accompanied by a photocopy of the Parchment and/or a transcript of results (as required) i.e. a statement from the awarding institution showing the subjects taken in each year and the grade attained.

Step 5
Please ensure that you fill in the Remittance Total. The Remittance Total is the number of exemptions (subjects and/or direct entry) applied for (ticked) multiplied by the exemption fee of €50 each. This is the amount due to the Institute.
