SCOPE Pricing
Our mission is to make high-quality, evidence-based obesity education accessible to healthcare professionals around the world. For this reason, the majority of SCOPE training is offered completely free of charge.
A small number of SCOPE E-Learning modules are offered for a fee, with pricing tiered based on country income. This page outlines the costs of our premium online courses and other paid components of the SCOPE programme.
SCOPE pricing as from 11 September 2023
SCOPE E-Learning continues to offer most of its content for free, with a small proportion of modules requiring payment.
A new tiered price structure for paywalled courses, as well as applications for SCOPE Fellowship, Accreditation and recertification, was introduced on 11 September 2023. Prices are based on country income level (as defined by the World Bank) and World Obesity Federation membership status. Full details are outlined below.
Why have we revised our prices?
To facilitate our mission of making high-quality, evidence-based obesity education available to all healthcare professionals, we have introduced a new tiered price structure based on our users’ country income level, to ensure that our training remains affordable to all.
The majority of our 60+ SCOPE E-Learning modules remain completely free to access. We have also introduced additional benefits to members of World Obesity-affiliated associations, including free access to our learning paths on child obesity and CVD.

Details of our pricing, effective from 11 September 2023, are outlined below:
