Level 5 Theory Plus Course
A complete course with teacher marking included
covering the requirements of the RCM theory exam
About This Course
This is an online course which prepares students for the RCM Level 5 written or remote theory examination and it is designed for students who want to take the exam or gain a foundation for subsequent levels. The recommended prequisite is RCM Level 4 theory but it is not required. As Level 5 is the entry level for the RCM theory exam program, it can function as a "jump-in" level for students who have not previously taken theory but who have basic theory knowledge from their practical lessons.
This version includes the marking of assignments and teacher feedback. For the same course as a self-study, see the Level 5 Theory Course.
