Questions
Do I need to know the rules in my country before I start?
No. Lesson 3 shows what the site's guides say for the United Kingdom and the United States, and tells you to check the official body for your own place.
Does the course give prices to compare against?
No. It gives no typical fees. You compare the written figures that each provider gives you.
Does passing the exam mean a provider is approved?
No. The certificate of completion records that you passed this site's exam. It does not approve, rate or recommend any provider, and it is not a licence or a professional qualification.
