Our guarantee
We offer a cast iron, money-back, no-quibble guarantee.
If you don’t like the course (for any reason), just email us to cancel at any time within 60 days of receiving your pack, and we’ll refund your course fees.
Why do we give this refund? Because we don’t like to part on bad terms. Life’s too short to fall out with people. And we’d prefer you to say nice things about us.
But does anyone actually claim a refund? Absolutely! Around five per cent of our students ask for their money back each month. And we’re happy to pay them, because we know that the best course in the world won’t suit every single person.
Location
You study the course at home. You don’t attend a classroom. This means you can study when it’s convenient for you, rather than have to get to classes at places or times you may not be able to get to.
Is there any further reading?
You don’t have to do further reading, but you will get more out of the course if you do so.
How this course can help you.
With parents lacking the kind of support they once had from grandparents and neighbours, they’re often desperate for answers.
In the absence of a child psychologist, parents turn to teachers, teaching assistants, youth workers, child minders and counsellors.
People in these professions need to understand child psychology. If you work in an area that deals with young people, and you’re able to provide solutions to these problems, you’ll greatly improve your chances of getting a job, getting promotion or succeeding in self-employment.
