Yes. Just let us know within 60 days of receiving it, and return it in good condition (if you have the printed edition), and we'll send you a full refund. 

Please note however that a refund cannot be processed if you have been signed off as complete and issued your Diploma Certificate. 

No. But it will help you set up and run your own business. And we encourage all students to continue their studies after completing the course.

The course consists of modules to read through, and online tests to complete. There are 4 online progress tests, in place to test your knowledge and progress, and 1 final exam to complete at the end of the course, which is used to assess you.

There's no need to worry, as you get two attempts at the online tests. Simply take some time to recap the content, before trying again.

Successful completion of the final exam, with a total of 65% or higher, will result in a pass.

You can start the course at any time: today, tomorrow or next month. Whenever is best for you

You can study at home, or wherever you want. The course does not involve you being in a classroom or going to a test centre.

Many students complete the course in three to four months. But you can do it as quickly or slowly as you want. That's one advantage of distance learning.

Yes. Please talk to us about how we can accommodate you. We're able to make suitable accommodations.

You don’t need any specific qualifications or experience. You just need the motivation to succeed.

• Don't worry. We understand. But this course is nothing like your memories of being stuck inside a stuffy classroom on a summer's day with an old-fashioned teacher droning on.
• For a start, this is a subject that interests you (or you wouldn't have got this far).
• And getting this deep into the website shows that you can absorb information and concentrate for long periods of time.
• Also, you'll see that we write clearly and simply. And that's how we've written the course materials. It's true that some organisations write long and boring pages that make your eyes glaze over. We promise you that our course is nothing like that. You'll find this course is informative and enjoyable. In fact, many students are almost upset at finishing the course.

When you start comparing us with other course providers you might notice that:

• Some organisations will only give you 7 days to return your course if it’s not right for you. If our course is not what you expected and you want a full refund we allow you 60 days to return it and claim your money back.
• Some organisations will charge you an administration fee to return the course. We refund all of your fees.
• Many of our courses include details on business, marketing and finance, or finding a job (as applicable). This is something other courses tend to miss out.
