Minimum Moderation fees (Explore/Bronze/Silver/Gold)
Your moderation booking must meet the minimum fee level, as follows:
Standard moderation - There is a minimum fee of £490 for a standard moderation.
Minimum fee levels can be reached through any combination of Explore/Bronze/Silver/Gold award levels in one booking. For standard moderation, the moderation fee will either be the minimum fee or the total of the per-person moderation costs, whichever is greater.
Joint moderation - The minimum centre fee for each centre attending a joint moderation is £150. In order for the moderation to go ahead, the minimum moderation fee of £490 must be reached together by all centres sharing the moderation. If the minimum fee is not reached, a 'top up' amount to cover the difference will be charged, split between those centres taking part in the moderation.
