ITOL Finance, therefore, does not finance the cost of exams and manuals. You can however at any time contact the exam booking team and pay for exams and manuals as you need them.s

As stated above, if you have paid in full or been accepted through Omni Finance, then 3 official foundation exams and 1 official practitioner exam are included in the price.
