Important update

Deliveries outside of the UK

Due to restrictions, our ability to transport material from the UK to most countries has been severely affected.  If your preferred option is Digital and Printed, please note that we are unable to provide a timescale of when the printed study book is likely to be received. However, if you choose to purchase this option, you will be able to access the study book in an E book and PDF format from RevisionMate.

You can find out if your country is currently affected on our delivery partner website.

Deliveries in the UK

UK deliveries are currently unaffected and remain ‘business as usual’.

If you require any assistance please contact our Customer Service team.

Please note that these postage rates are flat fees applicable to orders from individual candidates (orders may contain more than one item). Separate fees apply to corporate bulk orders - contact Customer Service for details.
