Hi all, Please note links to sign up and general info below. Participation in the exams is a fantastic experience and great motivator for students, but is not a requirement.
I am of course happy to guide and assist, but please be aware it is the students responsibility to choose the exam period that suits them, register, purchase books and organise fees. You may need my "Enrol ID" to enter and pay the fee. Please see above.
The website can definitely be confusing. Please note Rock School is UK based and operates in Australia through the AMEB organisation. The links below will make it simple I hope.
