FIDIC Academy’s Region Sensitive Pricing model is based on the World Bank’s country income classifications, which categorise economies according to gross national income (GNI) per capita. Only countries classified as low-, lower-middle-, or upper-middle-income are eligible for regional discounts.If your country is classified as a high-income economy, it does not qualify for a discount under this model. This approach ensures that financial support is directed toward regions with more limited access to professional development resources.
If your country is not eligible for a discount, you will be informed on the website page after submitting your phone number. Standard pricing still gives you access to world-class training. If you believe there has been an error, please contact us at training@fidic.org.
