Buying the whole pathway in one go costs less than buying units one at a time, because each unit price includes its own tutoring and assessment.
You can also study unit by unit. Every unit you complete earns credit towards every qualification that uses it, and once you hold enough credit you gain that qualification with nothing more to pay for it.
If you buy the whole pathway, the price shown is the full price. We do not deduct units you bought earlier.
