What finance options do you offer?

We offer finance through our third-party finance partner Premium Credit where you can spread the cost of your study package and exams over affordable monthly payments. This is the preferred option for our students not paying in full. As an alternative where students do not qualify for finance, we offer monthly spread payments in-house (ITOL Finance) which are interest-free and cover the cost of the course component only. ITOL Finance therefore does not finance the cost of exams. You can, however, contact the exam booking team at any time and pay for exams as you need them.

Can you tailor a study package for me?

Yes, we can tailor a study package for you based on your experience level and taking into consideration studies you have already completed.
