Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the price so low?

We are committed to providing approved training courses in vital skills at an affordable price. The cost of our courses and bundle offers reflect that commitment.

Why do you not print expiry dates on your certificates?

It is not our place to tell you when you must retrain people. Employers must decide themselves on the basis of risk and guidance provided by the regulator. That said, because the cost of online training is so cost effective, most of our customers retrain their employees every year.
