Essay Questions (2007)
Candidates must achieve the pass mark (60%) in each
Part. Candidates who fail in one Part will be required to re-take/re-submit the requirements for that Part only and satisfy the examiners within four years of their first submission. Parts A, B and C must be taken in the same year. Part A, the Practical Examination, if failed, may not be re-taken within three months of the previous examination.
While it is possible to take all Parts in a single examination year, candidates are strongly advised to plan their studies over at least two years so as to allow time for reflection on the many liturgical and musical issues involved. This is particularly important for those who have not undertaken full-time study for a number of years.
Candidates who opt to take the Parts over more than one year must submit an application in respect of any Parts which are to be taken. This application must reach the Examinations Secretary on or before 31
January in that examination year.
The Council of the Guild of Church Musicians reserves the right to refuse, or cancel, the entry of any candidate for the Certificate.
Successful
Candidates may place the letters ACertPW after their name
and wear the authorised academic hood. This Certificate
is presented annually by one of the Patrons. Syllabus
obtainable from the General Secretary or the Examinations
Secretary.
