It depends on which path you choose.

For Academy programs: Browse the Academies, select your program, and click Enroll. You will be directed to a secure payment gateway. Once payment is confirmed, you will receive an invitation by email to activate your access and start learning.

For UK Diplomas: Because UK Diplomas are leveled qualifications, there is a short step first. After choosing the UK Diploma route, you complete an online application form. At the end, you receive a suggested level (Levels 3 to 7) based on your educational background and work experience. Our team then reviews your application to confirm the final level that fits you. Once confirmed, you enroll and pay for that level and begin your studies. See the UK Diploma page to start your application.

Each program is $250 USD and gives you six months of full access, starting when you activate your program and begin learning. Your payment includes full program access, official certification from the issuing institution, AI-powered learning support, a dedicated WhatsApp support group, and access to GEA Innovation Centers. There are no subscriptions and no automatic charges. Premium Services such as one-on-one mentoring and internship opportunities are available separately, tailored to each learner's needs, contact us to discuss options. (UK Diploma programs are priced separately, as fees vary by level and pathway, see the UK Diploma page or contact us for details.)
Your six months of access begin when you activate your program. If you want to continue past six months, or re-enroll later, you simply pay again for another six-month period. After your access ends, you keep your dashboard, all your progress, and every certificate you earned, only access to that specific program pauses until you re-enroll.
