RLSS UK Prices and Fees 2024 The price of some RLSS UK qualifications, awards, and services will change from 1 January 2024. We completely understand that a price change is never ideal; however, like many of you, we are faced with significant cost increases, including printing, product/supplier, distribution, and travel. We have tried to manage price changes and are happy to let you know that some qualifications have decreased in cost, with others having limited price increases.
