Fees are generally to be paid in one or two instalments.

The first instalment is due on or before September 08, 2017. The second instalment is due on or before January 26, 2018.
Some programmes are invoiced on completion of the first module.

Fees can be paid by:
- Debit/Credit Card

Studying at an Institute of Technology?
Those students taking their programme through evening lectures at a regional Institute of Technology pay the first instalment of their fee to the relevant Institute of Technology and the second to the IPA.

Employers and Fees
Where employers are paying fees directly to the IPA, students, when enrolling, must submit a letter from their training or HR officer confirming that fees will be paid directly.

Note: A letter stating that fees will be refunded to students at the end of the year will not suffice.
