Investing in knowledge, empowering futures.

To ensure our qualifications are accessible to learners globally, we align with the World Bank Group country classifications by income level for the current fiscal year.

  • Region 1: High-income economies.

    Region 2: Upper middle-income economies.

    Region 3: Lower middle-income and Low-income economies.

Centers in the United Kingdom are categorized in Region 1, alongside other high-income economies—normal fees apply to all Region 1 centers.

Prospective centers and learners should review the fee structure alongside the World Bank Group country classifications by income level for the current fiscal year to determine the region their center falls into and remit the applicable fees.

Centers are responsible for promptly registering learners with GPLA upon their enrollment at the center.

All fees are denoted in UK Pounds Sterling (GBP) and are payable to ‘GPLA Qualifications’ through bank transfer. We retain the right to modify the fee structure at our discretion.
