FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MANY COURSES CAN I ACCREDIT?
You can accredit up to 5 courses in the Expert Package.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET APPROVED
Once we have received everything we need from you, it takes around 7-10 working days to finalise your accreditation.
HOW LONG DOES THE ACCREDITATION LAST?
Accreditation lasts for one year from the date you sign up.
CAN I GET ADDITIONAL COURSES ACCREDITED LATER?
Yes, additional courses can be accredited at any time for an extra fee.
IS THERE ONGOING SUPPORT AFTER ACCREDITATION?
Yes. As an accredited member, you’ll receive ongoing support relating to your accreditation. This includes submitting your training materials for audit, receiving feedback if anything is missing or needs updating, and guidance to help ensure your materials meet the required industry standards.
Please note that accreditation does not include support with creating your courses, marketing them or growing your academy. If you need help with this, you can join our Academy Growth Method coaching group, where we support educators with building and growing their academy.
HOW MANY TRAINERS CAN WORK UNDER ME?
The Expert package covers you for one trainer only. You would need our higher packages to have more tutors covered.
WHAT INSURANCE COMPANIES DOES IAL WORK WITH?
We work with a variety of insurance companies. Our main partner in the United Kingdom is Insync.
CAN I GET A REFUND ONCE I'VE PAID FOR A PACKAGE OR COURSE?
We run a non-refundable policy which is stated on our website. If for any reason we cannot approve you then you would be refunded your approval fee. Any courses or programmes we offer are also non-refundable.
If your question still hasn’t been answered from the above, please follow the steps in the email you receive when contacting us. Please bare in mind that your 12 months starts from the date you sign up.
