Before you book
Common questions
How are pathway savings worked out?
We compare the pathway price with the combined current prices of its individual courses. Savings vary by pathway and by the format you choose.
Can I choose online or classroom?
Yes, where both versions exist. Use the format selector on each pathway. You only need dates for the classroom courses you choose.
Is membership included?
No. Membership is a separate paid application, subject to vetting and approval. Completing training does not automatically give a directory listing or badge.
Can I book for my company?
Yes. Each employee needs their own place; one pathway purchase does not cover multiple employees. Contact us for a team quote or use a company training account.
I've already done one of the courses. What should I book?
Get in touch before buying a full pathway and we'll help you find the training you still need.
