From Browsing to Enrolled

Five steps to starting your course.

Choosing and enrolling on a course with us is simple by design. Here’s exactly what happens, start to finish.
1

Choose your course or qualification

Pick from the wide range of subjects available across our ten faculties. Whatever you decide, and wherever you want to go next, this is the first step.

2

Check it fits what you need

Read the course information to be sure it satisfies your requirements. Looking for a nationally recognised qualification? Choose an RQF course. Studying for personal fulfilment or CPD? Our endorsed qualifications are non-regulated and not on the national framework, but ideal for that purpose.

3

Decide how you want to pay

Choose from several payment methods, including low-cost instalments that spread the cost if you're on a budget — or save money by paying in full when you order.

4

Add to basket and check out

Add your chosen course to the basket, proceed to checkout, select your payment method, and confirm the order.

5

Get instant access to your Student Portal

Completing your order automatically registers you as a Cambridge Open College student. Check your inbox for confirmation, along with instructions and a login for your dedicated Student Portal — it usually arrives within minutes.

Congratulations — that’s it.
You’re on your way. Your journey has begun.
