In order to access the ALX ecosystem and your chosen programme, you will be required to pay the $5 All Access, giving you unlimited access to the full ALX programme portfolio, community, events and activities, rewards, benefits and, of course, our partners.

If your programme starts on 18th November 2024, the first payment is due on that day, and the second instalment is due on the 18th December 2024.)
