are payable before the course?

No, full payment is not required before the course commences. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) offers flexible financial structures designed for working managers. Learners can opt for a single upfront payment or select an instalment plan, typically splitting fees across two or three payments. This approach ensures cash flow management does not hinder professional development. The regulated qualification, overseen by Ofqual, allows registration to proceed once the initial deposit or first instalment is secured. This flexibility supports immediate enrolment into the 120-credit programme without demanding full capital expenditure at the outset, aligning with the strategic needs of senior professionals balancing operational duties with executive education.
