Region Sensitive Pricing
At FIDIC Academy, we are committed to making high-quality training accessible to professionals across the globe. To support this mission, we are introducing Region Sensitive Pricing – a feature that adjusts course fees based on your country of residence.
By reducing financial barriers, we aim to empower professionals everywhere to develop their skills, advance their careers and contribute to sustainable infrastructure development.
Using the World Bank’s income classification system, this initiative ensures fairer access by offering automatic discounts of up to 30% for learners in low- and middle-income countries.
How it works
Based on the World Bank’s income classification system, countries are grouped into predefined regions and each qualifying country is allocated a specific discount tier. For eligible regions, a unique discount code is generated.
When entered at checkout, this code automatically applies a percentage discount to the course price, based on the country’s tier. This discount code applies to all courses open for registration on the FIDIC Academy website. This discount can’t be combined with other promotional offers or discounts.
Get Your Region-Specific Discount Code
To find out if you're eligible for a region-specific discount, start by selecting your country below. If your country qualifies, you'll be prompted to enter your mobile number (including the country code). Your discount code will then be sent via SMS and can be applied during course registration on FIDIC Academy’s eLearning platform.
This feature has been soft launched. Additional countries will be added in due course as final checks and updates are completed.
If you have any questions or require support, please contact the FIDIC Academy team at training@fidic.org.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
