Forward College · The Future is Here

Fees and micro-credentials

You pay for a stage, and you own what that stage certifies. Nobody leaves Forward College holding nothing.

Fees are published per stage

Fee schedules are set per programme and per academic year and published before applications open for that intake. Figures for the founding intake are being finalised.

Stackable micro-credentials

Every programme is built from micro-credentials that certify separately, such as Solar Water Pumping inside the solar certificate. Each one is employable on its own.

Leave early, still credentialled

A learner who has to stop keeps every micro-credential already earned and can return to stack the rest later.

RPL is free at first attempt

During the pilot years, a first Recognition of Prior Learning assessment carries no fee.

Next step

Start where you already are

Every route in leads to the same standard: demonstrated competence, externally verified.
