Regional Cost Comparisons NB: Prices are subject to change

The fees below are determined by Producers within each Regional Body. The fees cover four areas: $90 to cover National Office expenses, a fee to cover the auditing costs, a payment to the Certification Manager (the person who coordinates the certification process within the Region) and a few extra dollars to cover miscellaneous expenses of the Regional Body.

The cost difference between Individuals and Pods is due to the Individual having to cover the full cost of the audit versus the Pod being able to share the cost of the audit.
