Teach Me Sign gives you the option to pay the exam fees in one lump sum at the start of your course (which is preferable for those whose employers are paying on their behalf) or as and when you take them. Should you fail any assessments, you will need to retake them and successfully pass all units, in order to gain your certificate from the awarding body. You understand the exam fees are charged separately to your course fees.
