## Questions

### Does this course tell me which provider to choose?

No. It teaches you how to read a listing and what to ask. The choice stays with you and your family.

### Does the course give typical funeral fees?

No. A fee figure on this site appears only when a provider publishes it and an editor cites it. The course gives no typical or average fees.

### Does the certificate show that I am qualified to arrange or judge funerals?

No. It is a certificate of completion from this site. It records that you passed the exam. It is not a licence or a professional qualification, and it does not approve any provider.
