OUR FEES
Centre Fees and Our Commitment to Transparency
At iPET Network, integrity sits at the heart of everything we do, including how we structure and communicate our Centre fees. As an Awarding Organisation and End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) working closely with Approved Centres and Training Providers across the Animal Care and Veterinary Science Sector, we believe that clear, fair, and competitive pricing is essential to building long‑term, trusted partnerships.
This page outlines our approach to centre fees, why transparency matters to us, and how we ensure our fees remain competitive while maintaining the highest standards of quality and compliance.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We are committed to being open and upfront about all Centre fees. That means:
- No hidden charges – all fees are clearly explained before you commit
- Clear breakdowns – you understand exactly what each fee covers
- Consistent pricing – fees are applied fairly and consistently across centres
- Advance notice of changes – any fee updates are communicated well in advance
We know that unexpected costs can place pressure on Centres. That’s why we work hard to ensure our pricing structure is straightforward, predictable, and easy to plan around.
What Our Centre Fees Cover
Our fees are designed to reflect the full scope of services and support we provide, ensuring Approved Centres receive value as well as compliance confidence. Depending on the qualification or service, Centre fees may contribute towards:
- Centre approval and onboarding
- Ongoing quality assurance and monitoring
- Access to assessment materials and guidance
- External Quality Assurance (EQA)
- End‑Point Assessment planning and delivery (where applicable)
- Regulatory compliance and Awarding Organisation responsibilities
- Dedicated support from our experienced team
- Online E-portfolio system
- Different registration packages to allow you to become a centre and not worry about finding Internal Quality Assurance resources
- No ongoing annual fees
Every fee is carefully structured to support both quality delivery and a positive Learner experience. Click the button below to download the fees document.

Competitive by Design
We regularly benchmark our centre fees against the wider education and training sector to ensure they remain competitive and proportionate. Our aim is not to be the cheapest at the expense of quality, nor the most expensive without justification, but to offer fair pricing that reflects expertise, service, and value.
By operating efficiently and investing in robust systems and experienced people, we are able to:
- Keep fees at a sustainable level for Centres of all sizes
- Support both independent providers and larger organisations
- Reinvest into service improvements, resources, and compliance
Supporting Long‑Term Partnerships
We view Centres as partners, not just customers. Our approach to fees reflects this philosophy. We take the time to discuss:
- Your Centre’s size and scope of delivery
- The qualifications or services you require
- Any anticipated growth or changes
This ensures you receive accurate fee information from the outset and helps us support your organisation effectively as it develops.
Clear Communication, Every Step of the Way
From your initial enquiry through to approval and ongoing delivery, our team is available to explain fees, answer questions, and provide clarity. If you’re ever unsure about a cost or need further detail, we encourage open conversation — transparency works both ways.
