The current provider listing states a £20 deposit followed by 24 monthly payments of £145. Confirm VAT treatment and the final payable total before payment.
What happens if I cancel, withdraw or request a refund?
Online Business School's current cancellation, withdrawal and refund terms apply. Ready Study Global does not set or administer the provider's refund decisions. Ask us for the current OBS terms before enrolment or payment.
