Costs for the academic year
Registration, tuition, graduation. Everything the year costs is on this page. If you find a charge mentioned anywhere else that is not listed here, treat this page as correct and tell us.
Choose how you pay
The payment plan — £80 to start, then 11 monthly instalments of £70 — costs exactly the same as paying in one go. There is no interest, no administration charge and no premium for spreading it — we mention this because students frequently assume otherwise and choose the option that suits them worse.
Registration is what secures the place
The £50 registration fee is non-refundable and payable on enrolment; it holds your seat in the third cohort, which begins on Thursday 8 October 2026. Tuition follows on the schedule you choose, paid by standing order, bank transfer, or another method the Academy approves.
Your right to cancel
The Academy’s policy is that the registration fee is non-refundable. Because you enrol at a distance, you also have a statutory right to cancel within fourteen days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, which a policy cannot remove. How that works once teaching has begun is set out in our cancellation and refund policy.
Identical total on either plan — no interest, no administration charge, no premium for spreading it. Paid by standing order or bank transfer. All amounts in pounds sterling.

Funding
Yes, and many students are sponsored in whole or in part by their local church or ministry. We can issue an invoice addressed to the sponsoring body and confirm attendance to them at their request, with your permission.
Yes. The Academy’s scholarship fund helps enrolled students who could not otherwise meet the fee. Explain your need in your student portal; every request is read in confidence, and awards come straight off your tuition.
No. UK student finance is available only for courses at registered higher education providers, and this programme does not fall within that system. We say so directly so that nobody applies on a false assumption.
Speak to us before the date rather than after it. Our formal position on late payment, and any consequence for continued attendance, is set out in the terms of enrolment. Keeping to your agreed plan matters: fees that fall behind can affect sitting examinations, receiving results and graduating until they are settled.
By standing order or bank transfer, using the bank details on your registration confirmation and in your student portal, with your full name as the reference. Card payment, once or monthly, is offered in the student portal. Instalments fall due on the 1st of each month.
A year of live teaching every Thursday, ten modules, and an award you worked for.
