There are absolutely no charges for completing a course with us, thanks to government funding.
However, upon completing your enrolment if you decide to withdraw from the course without an appropriate reason, you may be charged an administration fee by the learning provider.
This will be explained in further detail during your enrolment process.

Why am I required to upload such personal information?

The courses we offer are all funded qualifications, meaning you need to be eligible for government funding in order to secure your a place. This information is a funding requirement and proves your eligibility.

What is a level 2 qualification equivalent to?

Level 2 is the next logical progression after successfully completing and acquiring a Level 1 qualification. This level of education is usually undertaken during years 10 and 11 of one’s academic journey. It is noteworthy to mention that achieving a Level 2 qualification is equivalent to attaining GCSE grades that correspond with 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, or 4 – previously graded as A*, A, B or C.

Furthermore, there are various examples of Level 2 qualifications, in addition to GCSEs, that one can attain. These qualifications come in the form of O levels, where grades A, B or C can be obtained, or Grade 1 as CSE level. Other possibilities include Level 2 functional skills or essential skills, Level 2 awards and diplomas or certificates, Level 2 NVQ, intermediate apprenticeships, and Level 2 ESOL.

Therefore, for someone looking to further their education, Level 2 offers a wide range of qualifications that can be obtained, allowing for flexibility and diverse career paths.
