I'd like to pay using the Pay Locally in Your Currency option. How does this work?

We are pleased to announce that students may now pay their fees online through our International Student Payment System (ISPS) site. ISPS is an easy-to-use fee payments system that enables international students to pay for their education fees easily and quickly. The ISPS System is a free service – and with no international bank transfer fees and a better exchange rate guaranteed it is our preferred method of payment.

How does ISPS work?

1. The student logs on and fills out the Payment Application Form on www.gatlininternational.studentfees.com
2. The student makes a local bank transfer in his/her home country in their local currency. The student emails ISPS a copy of his Electric Funds Transfer payment.
3. ISPS receive instant notification from the local bank and transfers the money in the Gatlin International's bank account. Gatlin International will receive your payment within 48 hours. All payments can be tracked by you 24 hours a day online.

Benefits:

• You will save money on international bank charges and you also receive a better exchange rate.
• You can track your payment online at any time and view each stage of your payment process.
• There is a 24 hour customer service team that can be reached by Skype, Live Chat, phone and email.

When does my course start?

You may start study on your course as soon as we process your registration and payment. Our courses are self-paced so you may work whenever and wherever is convenient for you.

Where are these courses offered?

All of our courses are given completely online. You will never be required to attend a brick and mortar classroom and you can complete your entire course from the comfort of your own home or office.

What skills do online learners need?

Most courses require a basic level of computer skills, including the ability to send and receive e-mail, as well as research on the Internet. If more advanced skills are required, they will be listed in the course description. If you are uncertain, we recommend that you discuss the skills required for a course with our support service using our Live Chat, email us at enquiries@gatlininternational.com or call directly to (+44) 0131 208 3480. You can learn more about online learning by enrolling in our FREE online course video “An Introduction to Online Learning” by clicking on any course and you will see this in the right-hand side of the page. This will give you a brief history of Gatlin International and show an introduction to our online learning style.

How do students interact with instructors?

All courses are taught by instructors who provide support for students usually through e-mail and occasionally telephone. The instructor is responsible for facilitating student-tutor discussion, as well as answering students’ questions and reviewing and grading assignments and exams.

Do I need an e-mail account for my online course?

Yes, all students taking online courses must have an e-mail account. E-mail accounts may be obtained by signing up for a free account either through Yahoo! or Hotmail.

When it says a course is 200 hours long, does that mean I have to sit at my computer for 200 hours?

No, it means that the author of the course has stated that he or she expects you to be able to complete the course in 200 hours. This time frame may include homework, research, reading, or in some cases, additional development and reflection time.

What are the advantages to online learning?

With online learning, you can study from home or work. You can log on and off as often as you need to, and the course will pick up right where you left off. Also, you only learn what you want to know. Lastly, the courses are Web-based, so you can log on from any computer.

What kind of certificate do I get when I have completed the course?

Once you have completed your course, we will email you your Certificate of Completion or Diploma (depending on which course you took).

Who do I contact if I have a problem with my course?
