Joining ABE - frequently asked questions
How do I register with ABE?
There are several ways to register with ABE:
- Through your ABE centre
- Directly with our secure online form - here is a link to online registration.
- Through Convera GlobalPay - (in some countries this may give you more favourable currency exchange rates) - see here for more information.
In Malawi you can also register through the ABE office and pay at NBS bank.
How long does the registration fee last for?
The fee covers your first twelve months with ABE. After that, there's an annual subscription for the duration of your studies. This can be paid through the members' portal or via your centre.
Do I need to enrol at an ABE-approved centre?
We recommend enrolling at an accredited (approved) centre. Your learning will be supported by a qualified tutor and experienced staff, giving you a better experience and a greater chance of success. Many centres will support people who wish to work at their own pace and offer flexible arrangements which fit around other commitments.
However, if there are no centres nearby offering the qualification you wish to take, and you are happy to do your own research and work from qualification resources alone, you can register as a self-study learner.
