The Society were the pioneers in instituting Technological Examinations in 1873. In 1879, on the foundation of the City and Guilds of London Institute, the Technological Examinations were handed over to that body. Since that date, the examinations were established largely for purely commercial subjects and modern languages.

The Society's examinations were instituted in 1856 and work burgeoned over the ensuring decades. The RSA Examinations Board was responsible for the Society's role as a major examining body principally in commercial/office skills and languages (particularly English as a foreign language) ranging from elementary to post-graduate. The academic work of the Board was conducted mainly from the London offices whilst the operational work, including printing and data processing, was carried out at premises near Orpington. The Examinations Board became a separate Company in 1987 and was sold in 1997 at which point it merged with the Oxford and Cambridge Examinations Boards to form OCR.
