If you want your Tuition fee with the college to include all your exam fees and your membership fees, you can choose our “all inclusive” package. This is a little more expensive, but then we take care of all membership and exam fees, and alert you to fill in the membership and exam forms.

If you choose this option, you can pay all your study costs in a single in-advance payment, or in monthly payments. This means that you do not have to worry about being able to afford future exam fees and membership fees, since the college will take care of it on your behalf.

Note that the All-Inclusive option gives you membership and subscription for one year. And that the college will pay for one exam per subject. If you fail an exam, you will have to make additional payments to re-write the exam.
