Advance notice of UK 2011-12 fees

Our UK Guide to Fees for 2011-12 is now available here.

We are aware of the tough market conditions you are currently facing and we are committed to supporting you with competitive pricing while maintaining our high quality producs and services. While our fees have risen across some areas of the portfolio, we have held the price of a number of qualifications including Apprenticeship and Dual Certificate packages and maintained the freeze on centre fees for the third successive year.

You have told us that simple pricing is important, so we have included an 'at a glance grid' for the different fee options available for centre-assessed VRQs. We have also removed the ILM Assessed Component Fees (formally called EA) which now sit in a separate fee document.

For additional information about our fees or products please contact the Customer Service Team or discuss with your local Business Development Manager.


Update to current fees

The latest fee information for the current year (effective to 31 August 2011) is available here.

Updates include:

  • Inclusion of new qualifications - Level 6 Diploma in Management and new suite in Environmental Management
  • New fee codes for the recently updated Level 4 and 5 Management qualifications
  • Removal of ILM Assessed Component fees (formally called Externally Assessed) which now sit in a separate fee document

Managing volunteers

Hundreds of charities rely on volunteers for success, particularly with the approach of London 2012 and Cameron's plans for a Big Society. Our new suite of qualifications will support individuals responsible for their management.

Email the Customer Service Team if you are interested in running these qualifications.


Certificate update

The planned roll-out of Certificates of Unit Credit (which replace transcripts) is running a week behind schedule and will happen on 29 July.

Please note: we no longer send out certificate folders with each batch of certificates. Instead you can order these free of charge from our online shop.
