Claiming your course back

Most trusts and deaneries will reimburse exam revision resources from a study budget. Here is what you need and what to send.

Three steps

Get your receipt. Every purchase has one on your purchases page. It shows the course, the date and the amount.
Check your local rules. Study budgets differ by trust and deanery: some need approval before you buy, some reimburse afterwards, and most have a claim window.
Send the email below to whoever administers your study budget, with the receipt attached.

An email you can send

Fill in the bracketed parts. Keep the amount the same as the receipt you attach.

Subject: Study budget request for an MRCPsych revision course

Dear [name],

I am preparing for the MRCPsych [Paper A / Paper B] examination and have
purchased six months of access to an online revision course covering the
RCPsych syllabus.

The cost was [amount], and I have attached the receipt.

Please let me know if you need anything further from me.

Kind regards,
[your name]
[your grade and department]

Worth knowing

Access runs for six months from the moment you buy, so it is worth timing the purchase against your exam date.
Paper A and Paper B are separate courses and separate purchases. Buying one does not include the other.
CASC is free with any account and costs nothing to claim, because there is nothing to claim.
We are an independent revision resource and are not affiliated with the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Your employer may ask; the answer is that this is a third-party study resource.
