Who sets the fee
LSPM does. Each programme has a fee published by LSPM that covers tuition, tutor support, assessment and the awarding body's registration and certification charges. We print the summary on programme pages as From £999 (9 months, standard) or £1,299 (6 months, fast track); the schedule above is LSPM's published structure. When you enquire we can confirm the figure that applies to your programme in writing.
My fee, and why it does not affect yours
LSPM pays us a commission when a learner we have introduced enrols. It comes out of LSPM's fee, not on top of it; the price you are quoted is LSPM's published price for that programme, the same as you would be quoted by applying to LSPM without us. We charge you nothing, and there is nothing to pay us at any stage.
What LSPM's fee usually includes
- Registration with the awarding body and the certificate fee.
- Access to LSPM's learning platform, sessions and unit materials.
- Tutor support and marking for every unit.
Whether draft feedback, a mid-programme review or a free first resubmission are included is set out in LSPM's learner agreement, and we would ask to see that agreement before paying anything. Usually excluded: textbooks beyond the core reading (most units need none), travel to any in-person sessions, and any fee a university charges when you later apply for advanced entry.
Ways to pay
LSPM offers the instalment and pay-in-full options in the schedule above (including a 5% bursary when you pay the full fee in one instalment). Employer sponsorship is also available: LSPM can invoice an employer directly.
Student finance
These diplomas are not currently designated for Student Finance England tuition fee loans, which are available only for courses designated by the Department for Education. Do not rely on a student loan for a Level 4 diploma unless LSPM has confirmed designation in writing for the specific programme. If designation changes we will update this page.
Refunds and withdrawal
Refund terms are LSPM's and are set out in its learner agreement. The common pattern at approved centres is that fees paid before registration with the awarding body are refunded less a stated deposit, and that after registration the awarding body's fee is not refundable and remaining instalments are adjusted to the units started. Ask LSPM for its written refund policy before you enrol; it must give it to you.

Send an enquiry naming the programme and study mode. We will come back with LSPM's current fee, its instalment options and the next intake date, in writing, so you have something to hold LSPM to.
