Certification Scheme fee

Participants in CEP’s Certification Scheme pay an annual scheme fee, payable on joining and annually thereafter. The scheme fee may be applied pro rata if required.

The scheme fee applies per person and not per certification, i.e. a person can hold any number of CEP Certifications but will only pay one scheme fee per year.

The scheme fee contributes to the costs of administering the scheme, which includes the provision of verifiable digital badges to qualifying participants.
