Upcoming Course Price Increases

Due to the rising cost of living and inflation, we will be implementing a small price increase for our courses on July 1st, 2026. Our aim is to keep costs as low as possible while remaining within the typical price points for continuing professional education. We remain committed to providing the accessible, high-quality training you expect from us. To view the price increases for each course, click here: FY27 Course Costs.

Thank you for your understanding,
