The same page publishes three yearly plans: Basic £450 (up to 5 courses), Standard £950 (up to 20) and Course Centre £2,050 (up to 100), each listing "Re-checked every 12 months".

The Find a Course directory lists 904 results; the first course record opened shows a "CIQ ID" and an expiry date of 30-12-2020. ICO register searches for "Centre for International Qualifications", "Centre for International Qualifications and Assessment" and "CiQ" returned no entries; a search by the published postcode returned 33 registrations, none under these names.
