Do I get a certificate on completion?

Yes. On completing all modules and assessments you will receive a verified certificate from tutorials.co.uk that you can add to your LinkedIn profile.

What if a course is not right for us?

The free course costs nothing, so there is nothing to lose by trying it first. An in-person day can be moved or cancelled up to seven working days before, for a full refund.

Can I access the materials after completing the course?

Yes. The free online course is yours to revisit any time, and everyone who attends an in-person day keeps online access to the material afterwards, including future updates as the course is kept current.

Is there support if I get stuck?

Yes. Our free tutorials, glossary and learning paths back up every course, and in-person days include direct access to your trainer on the day, with follow-up afterwards.

Can my employer pay for this course?

Yes. We offer company invoicing and team pricing. Many UK employers also use training budgets or the Apprenticeship Levy to fund staff development.
