## 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.
