Why pricing varies by region
PeopleCert applies regional tiering, broadly aligned with World Bank income groupings. Lower-cost regions (India, parts of the Americas, parts of Africa) see Foundation pricing in the $200 to $300 band. High-income regions (UK, EU, US, Australia, Gulf, Singapore) see Foundation pricing in the $345 to $425 band.
The exam content is identical regardless of region. Pricing is set by the candidate's booking region. Cross-region exam booking is not a permitted route to lower pricing under PeopleCert terms; the candidate must book in the region of usual residence.
Higher-tier regional pricing
Pricing above Foundation works differently. PeopleCert makes accredited training mandatory for every Managing Professional and Strategic Leader module, so there is no exam-only fee to tier; the comparable figure is the cost of training-plus-exam. In the UK that is £1,359 inclusive of VAT per module via PeopleCert eLearning, several times the Foundation exam fee. Regional pricing follows similar tiering, and ATO bundle pricing varies considerably more by region than PeopleCert direct pricing, reflecting local instructor and venue costs.
Pricing changes
PeopleCert reviews pricing annually and applies regional shifts when economic conditions warrant. Major changes typically take effect at the start of a calendar quarter. Refer directly to PeopleCert for live booking pricing. We update these tables quarterly or when a structural change is announced.
