Methodology and learner support

Training is delivered entirely online and at the student's own pace. Each learner has a tutor assigned for the whole qualification, with pass-and-refer assessment, written feedback and unlimited reassessments. The company states that the tutor supports the learner until they pass. According to the figures it publishes, more than 25,000 learners have enrolled to date and more than 2,600 teachers and assessors have obtained their certification.

Guarantees and verification of qualifications

Britannia Qualify maintains that all the qualifications it sells appear on the Ofqual public register and that each course page links to its corresponding entry so it can be verified before payment. The company offers a seven-day money-back guarantee and a price-match guarantee against any regulated provider offering the same qualification more cheaply. It also publishes an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 on Google.

Training for teams and employers

For employers, the company offers corporate accounts that allow buying seats in bulk, allocating them when learners are ready and tracking each completion from a single dashboard. Invoicing is issued as a single invoice and includes 30-day payment terms against a purchase order.

Resources to help choose a course

The site includes a course checker that, by answering three questions about the user's role, experience and goal, ranks the qualifications that fit best, without needing to create an account. The company also maintains a blog with articles on assessment planning, the differences between HLTA and teaching assistant, and types of assessment methods, among other topics.
