Fee Structure & Contract
As of January 2023, the fee structure is as follows. All fees are exclusive of VAT.
| No. | Fee Category | Amount | General Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Application Fee | 890 euros | The one-off fee must be paid upon submission of the ATP application. The ZDHC Academy Team cannot start the application review until the payment is settled. The application fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. |
| 2 | Annual Fee | 3490 euros per year (covering up to 5 trainers) | This will be paid as soon as the ATP application is approved and the contract is signed. After that, it is to be paid annually. |
| 3 | Additional Trainer Fee | 100 euros per year per person (when ATP has >5 trainers) | When applicable, this is paid together with the annual fee. |
| 4 | Certification Fees |

Since all learners must register for courses via the Academy platform, the ATP will pay ZDHC a per–learner fee for each registration (regardless of their certification outcome). The aggregated amount is invoiced every 3 months. |
