We believe in fair, transparent pricing. It’s the lifeblood of who we are: open, inclusive and welcoming.
These are the fees we will charge our approved providers from 1 August 2018 until 31 July 2020.
If you're a learner, you'll need to find a training provider to get an accurate cost for completing one of our qualifications. Training providers will charge learners more than the prices listed below to cover the costs of the delivery of teaching and assessment they complete on our behalf.
Qualification fees
Our qualification fees are based on the qualification size (number of guided learning hours).
| Size | Fee |
|---|---|
| Award | £15.00 |
| Certificate | £35.00 |

| Diplomas combining multiple smaller qualifications | £80.00 |
We set a minimum spend of £750 on qualifications each year (1 August – 31 July). If you spend less than £750 on qualifications in a year, you’ll be charged the difference to cover our administration and external quality assurance costs.
