What type of security is in place during an online payment?
We use industry standard encryption within the payment process. Secure sessions When you start the payment process you are said to be in a "secure session". You know you are in a secure session if the URL address begins with https:// or a padlock symbol appears in the lower right hand corner of your browser. Encryption SSL technology is used within your payment session to encrypt information before it leaves your computer. This ensures that no one else can read it. Encryption converts your data into an encoded form before it's sent over the Internet. This stops any unauthorised users from reading the information.

"Kartanzjan" holders are exempted from payment of fees for one course only. However they will be charged for other subjects they apply for.
