Do I need to pay for books? Business placements?

No, you won't! Nexford is 100% online so you won't have to buy textbooks or other equipment. All your course materials are available in your learner portal, and we have a fully stocked online library that's full of the latest books, insights and more.

You're welcome to complete a business placement or internship while you study, but these aren't built into the program.

Do I get payment reminders?

Yes – you'll get a reminder three days before your next payment is due.

Do I pay for every course I take? If I take more than one course at once, do I pay more?

No! You pay per month, which means even if you take two or three courses in one month, you'll pay the same flat fee as if you're taking one course.

If your grades are good, take more courses at once and finish sooner. Because you're faster, you'll take less time – and pay less overall.

How do I make payments?

Pay your first month (or two or six months) of tuition when you enroll. We'll securely save your card details and after that, we'll direct debit your card every month (or every six months): easy!

What payment method can I use?

We accept all major debit and credit cards from customers in every country.

If you need an alternative payment method, contact us at help@nexford.org.

How do I update my billing information?

Update your billing information in your online learning environment.

How often can I pay?

You can choose to pay every month, or pay in two or six-month installments. Whichever option you choose, you can set up a direct debit so you never forget. We'll send you a reminder three days before payment is due, charge your card, and send you a receipt when it's done.

I got a voucher code, but it doesn't work

Oh no! We'll see what we can do. Email help@nexford.org with the code and we'll try and help you out.

I'm stuck at the payment method screen, how do I move forward?

Check you entered your credit card details correctly. It seems simple, but even one wrong number could stop it from loading.

Still can't pay? We'll look into it for you! Email us at help@nexford.org to chat about other ways to pay.
