Funding
Everything your fees cover
An amount is judged by what it buys. Here is the complete list of what your fees cover, from the first content you open to the credential awarded at the end, and the part you keep firmly in your own hands.
One amount, one list
The amount published on every catalogue page is complete. It buys an entire programme: the content, the people who supervise it, written marking, assessments, the scheduled resits, the credential awarded at the end and the link that lets a third party check it. The list is written out in full below because a candidate who reads it can compare it, line by line, with the figure shown on the page. That is exactly the work a fee schedule should make possible.

Published amount of the lowest-priced short course in the catalogue.
Official catalogue rule: one credit is 25 hours of work.
Three examples, read from the catalogue
The last column relates the total amount of the programme to its volume of supervised hours. A short course concentrates its supervision into a few weeks, a long programme spreads it over several years: the two figures therefore sit side by side, neither being better than the other. They say the same thing in two forms, and it is the project that decides.
| Programme | Credits | Supervised hours | Per supervised hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Science programme — Bac+3 level | 180 | 1800 h | 9 000 GNF |
| Project Management Certificate | 18 | 180 h | 16 111 GNF |
| Advanced Excel | 4 | 40 h | 22 500 GNF |
Questions about coverage
Can the amount change once I have applied?
The amount that binds you is the one stated in your admission decision, before any enrolment, and it stays at the level displayed when you applied. You therefore decide on the figure you read, not on another one.
Are resits paid for separately?
They are part of the published amount: the regulations set a number of attempts, and those attempts are covered. A repeated assessment therefore remains part of your programme, not an extra service.
Does content access last after the end?
Yes. The content you took stays available once the programme is over. Revisiting a topic six months later is part of what you have already paid for.
Is the verification link covered?
It is, and it is public: a recruiter opens it without creating an account and reads the holder's identity, the exact title, the date and the reference. It is the useful half of the credential, and it is not charged for.
