Complimentary extensions are available upon request, dependant on course or pathway studied. Participants are also able to purchase extensions to allow them additional time to complete their studies. Extensions for 1 month may be purchased for £64.80 and £194.40 for 3 months.

Participants are able to purchase up to a maximum of 6 months extensions, on top of the complimentary extensions available. Extensions cannot be purchased if participants are currently paying via an instalment programme. If the instalment programme has been completed, extensions may be purchased as normal. Extensions cannot be purchased if a participant has successfully completed the exam for that course. Extensions can be purchased if participants are within their enrolment period or within one year of the original expiration date provided.
