The BCS seeks to ensure that its educational courses remain good value for money for all, and in particular for our members who benefit from discounted fees. Whilst we have resisted applying any increases to most BCS courses since 2012, from 2018 our course fees will reflect some modest uplifts resulting from increases in the cost of delivery. We are committed to the delivery of a high quality, relevant and developing portfolio of courses for our members and will seek to keep costs down wherever possible.
