Paying for a course

There is a charge for most IT Learning Centre in person and live online courses. Self-service learning such as LinkedIn Learning and IT Learning Portfolio are free.

Course payment must normally be made at the time of booking via the online course booking system (CoSy).

Your cost will depend on your university status as listed on your University Card. Students and postgraduates will usually receive a 50% discount on the advertised price. The discounted price will show at the last stage of the shopping basket process.

You can pay for courses in the following ways. We do not accept cash payments.

How to pay

CoSy works like many other online shopping systems.  Once you have added your course(s) to the shopping basket, the amount due will display, and you will be asked to pay on the final shopping basket page.   If you are paying by card, you will be sent to the WPM payment pathway to complete the payment. 
Note: If you are paying by card, please pay at the time of booking.  If you are paying by Purchase Order, please add the PO number, or indicate that it will follow.
