We believe that all people should be able to access education and learning regardless of socio-economic background. At YME we are contributing to this philosophy by offering some of our products at a reduced rate with the intention of making them financially accessible.
On certain products there will be an option at checkout to select a pricing tier. Please select this based on what you can afford. This selection is not means-tested and is completely anonymous - you will receive the same quality of experience regardless of pricing tier.
We set our accessible rate at 25% below the standard price. We also offer a pay forward option at 12.5% above the standard price. This option is for people who can afford to support us in providing accessible places for other people. We will always attempt to balance the number of accessible and pay forward places so as a company we are not unfairly benefitting in the act of this solidarity.
