Accreditation
Fees & membership
Published, simple and kept deliberately low. One review fee per programme, a low annual fee, and no charge that depends on the outcome.
The schedule
All amounts are in US dollars, per programme, and exclude any bank or payment charges. The review fee covers the independent review, the Committee's decision, the registry entry and the certificate. The first year of annual monitoring is included.

| Certificate programme | USD 290 | USD 90 a year |
| Professional programme (recognition) | USD 290 | USD 90 a year |
| Associate-level programme | USD 490 | USD 140 a year |
| Bachelor-level programme | USD 690 | USD 190 a year |
| Master-level programme | USD 890 | USD 240 a year |
| Doctoral-level programme | USD 1,190 | USD 290 a year |

An example
A bachelor-level programme and a certificate programme at the same institution: USD 50 application (credited), USD 690 for the first review and USD 174 for the second, a total of USD 864 for the first year. Annual monitoring then costs USD 280 a year for both.
What you can count on
- Fees pay for the process, not an outcome. The review fee is the same whether the decision is to accredit or to decline.
- No membership dues and no hidden costs. What is on this page is what you pay.
- Reviews are proportionate. Most of the work is document-based and remote, which is how the fees stay low.
Amounts are current as of 30 October 2026 and are confirmed in your inquiry reply before you apply. Fees already quoted to you do not change for that application.
