Since 2015 WBKA members have benefitted from an arrangement with BBKA whereby, with a levy paid by the WBKA, they could sit BBKA modules and assessment without the need for them to become BBKA members.  Recently this arrangement has been reviewed by the BBKA and we are still negotiating proposed changes with them. With the closing date for taking the BBKA March module exams, 31st January, fast approaching we urgently need to know how many WBKA members are intending to sit a module in March. Could you please email secretary@wbka.com by 11th January if you are hoping to sit a module in March this year?

Similarly we would like to know if you are working towards taking the BBKA Bee health Certificate or the  General or Advanced Practical assessments in 2025. Knowing how many candidates are likely to apply to sit modules in March and/or practical assessments this summer will aid our negotiations with the BBKA.

Due to the logistics of arranging assessors for the WBKA Basic and Junior assessments the closing date for these assessments in 2025 has been brought forward to April 1st. Please ensure that you get your application in as soon as possible.
