A programme puts the courses in the right order, adds an integrated capstone reviewed by a panel, and costs less than the courses bought one by one. You also get a single programme certificate in addition to each course certificate.
Yes. Programme fees can be paid in up to three instalments aligned with the start of each course. Ask for an instalment plan when you apply.
Tell us in your application. If you can show prior learning, an adviser can replace a course with a more advanced one or adjust the fee accordingly.
The length shown is typical, and the pace is customisable. Each course runs for four weeks at most; you can fast-track by taking courses back to back, or go part-time and spread them out. Live programmes follow a cohort calendar. If you need to pause, you can move to the next cohort of the remaining courses once, at no extra cost.
