Fee structure for diploma in ECDE – Other diploma in early childhood education cost

In addition to the fee quoted in the above ECDE diploma fee structure, there are surely a few other costs that you need to budget for.

These include:

Books and materials: You certainly need to have textbooks and stationery that you will be using during your study. To get a rough idea of what you might need to add, reach out to the college you have in mind and ask about books and stationery needed then shop around bookstores and see how much they’re costing.
Accommodation(Hostels): If you are studying full-time, chances are you will also be paying an extra accommodation fee (sometimes it is not included in the fee, especially if the institution does not have own hostel) so plan for that also. I think the best way to be sure is again by contacting the college/institution and request for the full fee structure.
Food: Needless to say, food will be another important item to add to your budget.
Transport: Yeah- If you’re living outside and the hostel is not very close to your institution, add daily transport charge.
