    Wonder I they'd consider a payment play maybe, pay per month so less painful than all up front.

    You're an accountant surely you can organize yourself to have a couple of hundred available when needed!

    It's not about having no money to pay it, it's about not getting any use out of the nearly 600 fee. So if you did have to still pay it, if you could spread the cost out over the year, the pain would feel less psychologically

    It is either worth something to you or it is not.  I don't see any reason why the institute should carry extra admin costs for you or would you be willing to pay say an extra 100 for instalment payments.

    I think its more the issue that the Institute is charging a high level of fees and in many cases these fees are not being paid by an employer (therefore the cost is over €1k of gross income) and if paid by the employer, there will by BIK implications where the qualification is not strictly needed for the role. either way, its going to cost the individual a significant sum for something they are getting no value for - its not like a degree or a masters qualification which you have for life for no additional cost, you have to keep paying for this monicker!

    I have to say, I have never seen the institute more engaged and proactive then when it comes to chasing you for money.

    Laser vision focus. They seriously are effective operators here.
