What you should know
- All fees are quoted in GBP and exclude VAT where applicable.
- Accreditation fees cover assessment and review; they are not a payment for an accreditation outcome. Applications may be rejected or referred for remediation.
- Re-submission after a rejected review is charged at 40% of the original course fee.
- Continuous monitoring, certificate reissue and public verification are included for the full accreditation term.
GLS accreditation incorporates applicable principles from ISO 21001:2025. GLS is not ISO, does not provide ISO certification, and GLS accreditation is not equivalent to ISO certification.
