Make it £100 (even £150...but I already hear the cries), that'll quickly reduce the number of people willing to chance it, thereby reducing the number of poorer entries.
I'd keep it at that, simple and no change or introduction of pre-qualification tests etc....
(Off hand thought...maybe throw an incentive in i.e pass first time and you only pay £58, getting a refund or credit towards the next exam. This is probably not worth considering as it brings with it it's own logistical nightmare and behind the scenes management)
Adrian my company very kindly pay for my travel, lodging and exam materials, for which I am obviously grateful and I think alot of UK/Irish companies will do this, your proposal would probably work but I think you would have to increase significantly the amount charged per exam say £500- £1000 and I cant see that happening, also it would be unfortunate if you paid that sort of money, studied hard then had a bad day with a bad result!!
