Running RCS courses is a great way to add to your centre’s revenue. Costs vary depending on which course you want to run and the number of participants you hope to have.

Each regional or international centre appoints its own faculty according to eligibility requirements for the course. 

We encourage everyone running RCS courses to appoint specialists, experts and innovators as lead faculty for each course, alongside more junior faculty who are developing their teaching skills.

Faculty can vary each time the course is run.

We can help you in sourcing faculty for your RCS courses – email education@rcseng.ac.uk if you need support.
