Annual review of fees
Please note our fees are subject to annual review and may be updated on the 1st March each year to reflect the rate of inflation.
VAT (Value Added Tax)
VAT is applied at a rate applicable to the consumer’s origin country when within the UK and the EU. Those consumers outside the UK and EU will incur no VAT. VAT is not applicable to EU VAT registered businesses.
Your Registration Fee, CFI (OfQual AO)
The IOPN Diploma is accredited by CFI (an OfQual regulated awarding organisation) as an EQF Level 7 qualification. We are therefore required to pay the awarding organisation £445 to register you as a student in order for you to receive formal accreditation for your award upon successful completion of the IOPN Diploma program. For further information visit our accreditation page. Please note, your Registration Fee is tax exempt and is a disbursement to the awarding organisation, CFI (OfQual AO) who are a charitable organisation and as such are exempt from VAT.
Your Tuition Fee
Your Tuition Fee is separate to your Registration Fee. You can pay the Tuition Fee in full or set up a bespoke monthly repayment plan, enabling you to put down an optional deposit and then spread the remaining balance over a duration of your choice (maximum length of plan varies per programme). Please note, you will not be able to to graduate until your total Tuition Fee balance is paid off. In the event you complete a programme before your final monthly instalment, you may choose to pay off the remaining balance. A final one-off transaction can be arranged with our enrolment team.
