ANNUAL FEE
Page 8 of 11 pages
Application Fee
per ATI
CHF 1,900
CHF 1,900
The Annual Fee is a flat rate of CHF 190, irrespective of which IRU
Academy CPC Driver programme the ATI holds accreditation for.
For the third and subsequent accreditations, the annual fee is reduced by
50%.
PER STUDENT FEE
Your Institute and its branches, if any, commit to register its students in the
“IRU Academy Online” (AOL) to maintain its accreditation. For each
Certificate issued to a student registered in AOL, an “IRU Academy
Certificate Fee Per Student” will be settled on a yearly basis and must be
paid within 30 days of the invoice date.
The “IRU Certificate Fee Per Student” is calculated as 2% of your Institute’s
“Full Training Fee Charged to Students by ATI” that must be indicated in
Appendix 9 (pages 10-14 – Annex A to the ATI CPC Driver Agreement).
The “IRU Academy Certificate Fee Per Student” is due for all students who
have graduated from the CPC Driver training programme and is based on
the calculation indicated in your Institute’s completed form “Annex B” as
given in Appendix 9 (pages 15-16 – Annex B to the ATI CPC Driver
Agreement).

√
At the end of the calendar year, there may be a need to reconcile any fee
discrepancy due to difference in the number of students who have obtained
a Certificate, any changes in the “Full Training Fee Charged to Students by
ATI” made by your Institute in the course of the previous calendar year and
the average annual exchange rate applicable for the conversion of the “IRU
Academy Certificate Fee Per Student” in Swiss Francs. Your Institute must
submit to the IRU Academy Secretariat a completed form “Annex B” as
given in Appendix 9 (pages 15-16 – Annex B to the ATI CPC Driver
Agreement) for the purpose of reconciling any discrepancy with the IRU
Academy calculations.
