I'm considering doing the exam in the New Year, but the RHS haven't sent me any details as yet.

Has anyone done it? Does anyone know of any sample papers that are available so I can see what sort of standard is expected?

You'll be sending your accounts to a turf accountant?

When you are setting up your business you will, of course, be consulting the
well known legal practitioner - wait for it - Sod's Law.

You understand not any Tom, Dick or Harry can start up in the Turf business?
You will have to be licensed and will be regulated by 'Offsod :-

The RHS General seems to be about the level of a good GCSE - but don't let
that fool you. They don't give it away, if you pass the exam the piece of
paper you get is very worthwhile. It is a very wide ranging syllabus so
depending on your background you may have quite a bit of work to do.

Thanks everyone. Highly comical, mind if I quote you all?!


Still nothing from the RHS. I had asked for past papers if they're available, so maybe they will arrive next week.

Now all I need is everyone's mobile numbers for frantic texting if I do sit the exam and get stuck!
