What does integrating cost in total?

October 7, 2026 · 2 min

The biggest costs are your course and your exam fees, and the latter is charged per part and per attempt. On top of that: study materials, travel to an exam centre, and any resits. Current amounts are published by DUO; we do not quote them here, because they change and an out-of-date figure makes you budget wrongly.

Biggest item: the course
Exam: per part, per attempt
Often forgotten: resits and travel

Item	How often	Where the amount is
Course at a school with a quality mark	once, or per period	from the school itself
Exam fees	per part, per attempt	DUO — registration page
Study material and mocks	ongoing	from the provider
Travel to the exam centre	per exam day	your own transport
Resits	as often as needed	DUO — per part

Where the money goes

What you can borrow

If you are required to integrate, you can pay for your course and exam fees with the DUO loan. Important: a school **without** a quality mark cannot be paid from it. Complete your obligation on time and part of the loan can be written off.

Where you can save

Practise until you pass reliably at full exam length — a resit costs more than practice material.
Sit the parts you are sure of earlier; you pay per part, not per day.
Ask your municipality about allowances, for example childcare during your activities.

What this means for you

Check current amounts with DUO, not commercial sites.
Include one resit in your budget as standard.
Never pay a school without a quality mark from your DUO loan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay for the whole exam or per part?

Per part, per attempt. Parts you have passed are not paid for again.

Can I borrow the whole amount?

There is a maximum and there are conditions; DUO publishes both on its own page.

The cheapest exam attempt is the one you pass.
