Registration fees 

Students pay (unless exempt) a registration fee, the amount of which is calculated proportionally to the number of class periods (50 minutes) and according to the level of education.

  • SECONDARY : €33 fixed fee + €0.29 per period
    (amount capped at €265)
  • SUPERIOR : €33 fixed fee + €0.47 per period
    (amount capped at €409)

In addition to the registration fee, students pay a supplementary registration fee (DIC) of €30 , which covers administrative costs set by the institution. The DIC is payable by all students.

The total cost paid by the student therefore includes the amount of the registration fee (DI) and the amount of the additional registration fee (DIC).

Students taking courses in Adult Education may be exempt from paying the registration fee under certain conditions, in accordance with Article 12 §3 of the School Pact (law of 29 May 1959): https://gallilex.cfwb.be/textes-normatifs/5108
