Prices and pricing policy.
Pricing policy:
There are two principles to our pricing policy.
The first is that we strive to keep our prices as low as possible commensurate with delivering excellence. We are aware that there are others who are charging a lot more for delivering a lot less, and we don't want to go along that path.
The second principle is that nobody ever pays anything other than our published prices so you never have to wonder whether anybody else is paying less than you. Many of our customers buy substantial numbers of courses, and our prices are geared towards that.
Prices are reviewed at the end of each year and any changes in prices take effect at the beginning of January each year.

Note: If you or a colleague are a senior mental health professional and have a talent for communication and teaching, you can apply (free-of-charge) to become an APT-accredited tutor and deliver courses in your own organisation, under license, for half the standard cost (50% of the 'Online Live and Exclusive' fee, regardless of whether the course is held face-to-face or online); yet those who attend the course receive the full course, the full workbooks, APT-Accreditation, and access to any post-course materials, in the usual way.

Examinations:
Online exam: $155 per person. Available for most courses both live and online; upgrades APT accreditation to the next level.
You must have had the relevant training before sitting an APT exam, but that training may be from another provider, in which case it needs to be verified, see below.

Verification of equivalence:
You can submit evidence of previous training to claim equivalence to an APT course. For example if you have had training you believe to be equivalent to APT’s DBT Essentials, you can submit what you believe to be evidence of this. There is a reading fee of $155, regardless of whether your submission is successful. (Note, the training must have been completed within the last 3 years.)
