You have 12 months from enrolment to complete each course.

If the Course is fully performed within the 14 days (that is, you complete it and a Certificate is issued), you lose your right to cancel once it is complete. If you cancel after the Course has begun but before it is complete, you must still pay for the part of the Course supplied up to the moment you tell us you wish to cancel. That amount is calculated in proportion to the full price of the Course and the part of the Course you have already received, measured by your progress as recorded on your Account (the lessons you have opened or completed). Whatever you have paid above that amount is refunded to you. See our Terms and Conditions for details.

No. Every course is fully self-study and self-paced – there are no webinars or scheduled classes to attend.
