Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Q: Do your program fees include the cost of examinations?
If you'd rather watch than read: Click on the video above!A: We do NOT include exam costs as part of our fees. To include them upfront is both costly and unnecessary.
In our experience, if a student pays for their exams as they go, they will be more likely to pass first-time as they are conscious of the cost and will therefore apply themselves and not take an exam before they are ready.
It makes much more sense to find the best exam offer at the time, not to pay any mark-up to the training company, and to do it locally - rather than in some remote centre.
Why borrow the money or pay in advance (plus interest %) on exam fees when you don't need to?
A lot of profit is made by training companies charging all their exam fees up-front and then hoping that you won't take them all. Surely it's better to pay for them as you need them?
Exam fees are typically around the £75-£125 mark through VUE or Prometric centres. So why pay thousands extra for exam guarantees, when your best guarantee is study, commitment and taking practice exams until you're ready?
Any company that provides exam guarantees is ultimately charging you to insure you against possible failure, yet they will generally make sure that you've passed multiple mock exams before they allow you to sit the exam or retake, thus protecting themselves and pocketing the extra profit.
