Pathways: Fees

Since 1995 when Pathways was launched, our fees have increased by only 33 per cent corresponding to the rate of inflation in the UK. The cost of a complete Pathways program taken over 30 weeks is just 8 pounds per week, which represents excellent value for money. Fees are pegged at the present level for the foreseeable future. Fees below are given below in British Pounds (Pounds Sterling). There is a currency converter below. For more details of methods of payment, please follow the links to the pink, green, purple or blue application forms below.

For an overview of all the Pathways programs, see Pathways at a glance. Further information about each Pathway can be found by going to the following pages:
