Schools

£5.00 per unit (Inc. unit certificates) + £10.00 ‘Cash – in’ (Inc. qualification certificate)*

Total per qualification (4 units @ £5.00) = £20.00 + £10.00 = £30.00

ICAAE use a credit based payment system for these units/qualifications.  This is to reduce the burden of paperwork and create a more efficient invoicing and payment system for both Centres/organisations and ICAAE.

Centres/organisations will be required to purchase credits for the Entry Level and Level One qualifications, which can then be cashed in when certification is required for candidates at unit or qualification level. As credits for units are only used when a candidate has collected the required evidence, there should be a 100% pass rate. Purchased credits are not therefore assigned to an individual candidate or to a particular unit or qualification.

Centres/organisations must have purchased their credits in order for moderation and certification to take place.

Once a centre/organisation has registered and been approved they will be sent a Credit Order Form to purchase credits. The minimum number of credits a centre may purchase is 30 (5 candidates).

On receipt of the Credit Order Form ICAAE will invoice centres/organisations.

Candidates' names are not required when the centre purchases credits. Credits will be deducted from the centres/organisations balance when certificates have been issued.

* Where centres opt to use video-conferencing or attend an ICAA moderation session the moderation will be at no extra cost. If, however, centres require a moderator to visit their own centre there will be a charge. Please contact ICAAE for more information.

Funding

LSCs will have their own targeted subjects for funding. Centres will need to contact their LSC to enquire about the funding options available.
