Payment structure for Professional Formation leading to QTLS
There are two options for making the payment of £485:
1. Pay £485 in full by credit/debit card or by one direct debit payment, or
2. Pay £110 as a deposit by credit/debit card and three further monthly payments of £125 will be made by direct debit from your bank account.
