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.
