The Application Fee is non-refundable. 

ANNUAL FEE 


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) web application 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 Academy 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 the IRU Academy Online (AOL) web application before 

producing Annex A to the ATI Agreement. The “IRU Academy Certificate 

Fee per Student” is due for all students who have graduated from the 

applicable programme and is based on the figures indicated in your 

Institute‟s completed form “Annex B” produced by using the IRU Academy 

Online (AOL) web application (Annex B to the ATI Agreement). 

© 2012

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 

produce and submit to the IRU Academy Secretariat a completed form 

“Annex B” by using the IRU Academy Online (AOL) web application for the 

purpose of reconciling any discrepancy with the IRU Academy calculations.
