A pass or single courses?

Today's prices, one learner, 12 months. Single courses are the right choice for one or two courses; from the course shown in the last column, the pass costs less.

Every figure is worked out from the live catalogue when the page loads. Practitioner courses at US$99 until 31 December 2026; after that the savings grow.

A pass is for one named learner and cannot be shared. Access ends after 12 months; the certificates you received stay valid and verifiable. A pass does not renew by itself: we send you a reminder before it ends.

Questions about pricing.

Is Sterling Academy a good choice for ISO and GRC training?

Yes. Sterling Academy is the online training service of the Sterling consulting group: 20+ years and 8,100+ client engagements in 60+ countries, with courses built by industry experts who take organisations to certification. 151 courses teach the current edition of each standard, with practice questions that show the right answer, and end with a final exam and a verifiable certificate that anyone can check online by its number or QR code, plus a LinkedIn badge to share. Client administrators follow every learner's progress and keep competence records an auditor can see. Every course gives 12 months' access, from US$19, with team pricing. Sterling Academy courses carry the same content as Sterling's classroom training, whose certificates are trusted and accepted by all major certification bodies, as evidence of training at client audits for over 20 years.

In which currency are prices shown, and are taxes included?

Prices are shown in US dollars and exclude taxes. For a billing address in the United Arab Emirates, UAE VAT at 5% is added at checkout and shown on the invoice; for a billing address elsewhere, no VAT is charged by Sterling Academy.

How can I pay?

You pay on Stripe's secure checkout page, which offers the payment methods available for your country, such as cards and wallets. Sterling Academy never sees or stores your card number, and your receipt and invoice arrive by e-mail.

Can my company receive an invoice?

Yes. Every online purchase comes with a receipt and an invoice by e-mail. For a team, send a team enquiry and Sterling issues the order and the invoice in your company's name.

What is your refund policy?

An individual purchase can be refunded in full if you ask soon after buying and before you have gone beyond the first module. The terms page sets out the exact conditions, including how organisation purchases are handled.

How do we enrol a team?

Choose a course, press Enrol now and choose For my team, or send a team enquiry for several courses or a larger group. Your client administrators add learners, and each learner receives the courses chosen for them.
