Frequently asked questions

How do the courses work?+
Each course is split into modules and short lessons with video, written notes and downloads. Each module ends with a quiz. When you've completed every module you receive a certificate graded Pass, Merit or Distinction, based on your average quiz score.
How long do I have access?+
For life — there's no subscription and no time limit. Study at your own pace on any device.
What's the difference between a single course and All-Access?+
A single course is £90. The All-Access Pass is £119.99 and includes every course in the All-Access collection at the time you buy. See exactly what's included.
Is the certificate an accredited qualification?+
No. Our certificates confirm you completed the course and its online assessments. They are not accredited qualifications and do not certify practical competence. Read more.
Can I retake a quiz?+
No. Each quiz can only be taken once, so review the lessons before you start. Afterwards you'll see the correct answer to anything you got wrong, and you can still read every lesson.
How is my certificate graded?+
On your average score across all the module quizzes: Pass from the course's pass mark (usually 60%), Merit from 70% and Distinction from 80%. An average below the pass mark completes the course without a certificate.
Can I get a refund?+
You have 14 days to cancel. If you ask for immediate access and start the course, your right to cancel ends once you begin accessing the content — we ask you to confirm this at checkout. If something is wrong with a course, you have rights under the Consumer Rights Act. Full policy.
Will a course make me competent to handle venomous snakes?+
No. An online course cannot teach or certify practical handling competence for dangerous animals. Our safety courses teach theory, risk awareness and emergency response only.
Do you offer training for businesses?+
We're developing staff-training packages for reptile shops, breeders, rescues and colleges. Get in touch to discuss your needs.
How is my data used?+
Only to run your account and courses, and — if you opt in — to send you news. You can download or delete your data at any time from your account. Privacy policy.
