Explore hassle-free learning with our convenient and flexible payment & funding options, making education accessible to all at Open Learning College
There are a number of different payment or funding options available for our online distance learning courses, depending on several factors including your age, where you live, your current qualifications and the course you are choosing to study.
We try to make this as straightforward as possible and have three main payment options available:
Choose the course you would like to study and go through the secure payment system to pay the total amount in full (20% discount if you pay in full for a limited time only).
You will receive your enrolment details within 24 hours so you can start your course.
Choose the course you would like to study and go through the secure payment system to pay your first instalment before you begin your course.
This first instalment is usually 20% of the total course cost, but you are able to increase the value of the initial payment which, would then decrease the following monthly instalments (contact us, if you would like to do this). Monthly instalments will be spread over a 3 month period, where your total remainder payment (less the initial payment) will be equally split.
You will be given this option at checkout, click on the Klarna button and you will be given the option to enrol now and make no payment today but pay in 30 days, or get the same pay in full discounted price, spread over 3 months interest free.
When you enrol with Open Learning College we want you to know you’re getting the best course with the most comprehensive support structure at the best price.
Our Price Match Refund is your guarantee that you’re never paying too much for any of our courses.
It’s simple. We’re so confident that we’re offering you a fantastic deal; we’ll refund twice the difference if you find the exact same course on any other UK website within 7 days of your purchase.
Full details of price match can be found at our Price Match page.

Using the below Klarna payment options will not affect your credit score. However, existing, late and unpaid balances, and payment holidays, are visible on your credit file to other lenders. Making repayments on time consistently will help build a positive history when using our payment options.
Choosing to ‘Pay in 3 instalments’
Deciding to ‘Pay in 30 days’
Creating a ‘One-time card’
Using Klarna might affect your credit score when:
Applying for one of our Financing options
If you decide to use Financing, we might perform a credit check with credit reference agencies to complete your credit assessment. This credit check will show up as an inquiry on your credit report, will be visible to other lenders and might impact your credit score.
When you choose the Financing option you will be asked to provide or confirm some details about your financial situation. We’ll use this information to decide whether we think you are able to meet your repayment obligations.
To make a purchase with Klarna you need to provide:
Your phone number
Email Address

A valid debit/credit card
We recommend that if you are new to Klarna and you haven’t used Klarna’s payment options before, you should have your first order delivered to your billing address (where your bank account is registered). This maximises the chances of your purchase being accepted.
All information will be sent to your email address, so it is important you provide the right contact details. If you do not receive your statements you may become liable for late payment fees.

What are ELCs?
Enhanced Learning Credits (ELCs) are used by the Ministry of Defence to sponsor their Armed Forces personnel to improve their education and, in particular, to support them through the move to civilian life.
What funding can I get?
There are two types of ELC funding available:
100% funding
You can receive funding for up to 360 credits of Open University module fees. This can be used towards a BA or BSc honours degree, or a foundation degree (240 credits).
To be eligible, you’ll need to be in the two-year resettlement period and not already have an undergraduate degree (including a foundation degree).
80% funding
Depending on how long you’ve been serving in the Armed Forces, you may be eligible for either the higher tier (up to £2000), or the lower tier (up to £1000) towards your module fees.
If you choose to study with the OU, we’ll receive payment towards the cost of your fees for up to three Ministry of Defence (MoD) financial years. The MoD pays for up to 80%, up to £2000/£1000 (depending on the tier), of your module fees. You’ll then pay the remainder of at least 20%.

You can apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to help with the costs of a course at a college or training provider in England.
Loan eligibility does not depend on your income and there are no credit checks.
What you’ll get
