The Royal Photographic Society Distinctions Examiners

The Royal Photographic Society is recruiting Distinctions Examiners to support the RPS Distinctions Programme from 2027.

RPS Distinctions recognise achievement and progression in photography through Licentiate (LRPS), Associate (ARPS) and Fellowship (FRPS). As part of the redevelopment of the programme, we are establishing a new pool of Examiners to assess submissions against the published standards and assessment criteria.

Distinctions Examiners independently assess submissions, considering the work as a whole and reaching evidence-based assessment decisions. Examiners record clear reasons for their decisions and contribute to constructive feedback for applicants.

Examiners work within the RPS assessment, moderation and quality assurance arrangements and take part in induction, training, calibration and continuing development.

Depending on programme need, expertise and experience, some Examiners may also undertake additional activities including tutorials, moderation, third assessments, quality assurance, Examiner development and the development of educational resources.
