Course fees and costs
Quality learning for everyone
At the National Extension College (NEC), we don’t think money should stop you from getting the qualifications you want. We’ve been helping people learn from home for over 60 years, and we work hard to keep our courses affordable.
We know that each person’s situation is different. That’s why we offer flexible payment options and financial assistance for those in need. Whatever your budget, we’ll be upfront about our costs so you can plan ahead.

Planning how to pay for your course
Clear prices, great value
We’re a not-for-profit organisation, so our fees are kept as low as possible. Any money left over goes straight back into improving our courses and support for students like you. That means great value for your GCSE and A level courses from an organisation that’s been helping people learn online since 1963.
Most of our courses include everything you need in one fee. If there are any extra costs, we’ll always let you know upfront.
