Frequently Asking Questions

Examination Definition

When an individual passes an examination following a course provided by an approved provider – they can demonstrate their knowledge of the subject matter contained within the course material of that qualification.

Obtaining a Qualification refers to passing an examination or assessment, especially one conferring status as a recognised practitioner of a profession or activity.

The student must be 16 years of age by the time the course starts. For example, if you are just about to be 16, you can register as long as your birthday falls one day before the start date of the course.

For participants between 16 and 18 years of age, the parents have to send us a letter of approval and sign a disclaimer. The documents have to be received by us with 7 days before the course starts. In the absence of these documents, the applicant won't be able to participate. The documents will not be needed if the applicant's birthday falls one day before the course starts.

Please allow between 2 and 4 weeks for us to register, print and dispatch your Diploma.

The costs of Examinations are included in the price of the course. You will need to pay only for the repeat exams, should you be unsuccessful on your first attempt.

Every student receives printed manuals or learning logs or both. All our materials are printed in colour and contain images. We only provide digital learning materials in exceptional cases like online or live courses.
