Direct Debit Plan

National College of Ireland has introduced a direct debit scheme for part-time programmes that allows students spread the cost of the programme at no extra cost.

How to avail of the direct debit plan

To avail of the direct debit scheme you must pay 20% of the course fee before the commencement of the programme and sign the direct debit acceptance form. There is no additional fee or interest charge for students using the direct debit payment option.

The balance of the course fee will be spread over a number of months depending on the duration of the programme. View our direct debit instalment schedule below.
