Short answer
Yes. At checkout choose PayPal, then Pay in 3. You pay a third when you book, a third a month later and the last third a month after that, interest free. You start your course as soon as the first payment goes through. PayPal decides who can use it.
How paying in instalments works
We do not run our own payment plans. Instead, every one of our 11 courses can be paid through PayPal, which gives you three choices at checkout:
- Pay in full. One payment by PayPal balance, debit or credit card.
- Pay in 3. Three equal, interest-free payments, one each month. The first is taken when you book.
- Pay in 30 days. Nothing to pay today. The full amount is due 30 days later, interest free.
Pay in 3 and Pay in 30 days are PayPal Pay Later products. PayPal, not us, checks whether you can use them when you choose them at checkout. They are available to UK residents aged 18 or over, subject to status.
What each payment looks like
These are the current course fees divided into three. The course page fee box always shows the exact split before you book, so check it there.
| Course | Full fee | Pay in 3 (about) |
|---|---|---|
| L3AET | £197 | £65.67 a month |
| L3CAVA | £600 | £200 a month |
| L4CET | £600 | £200 a month |
| L4AIQAAPP | £600 | £200 a month |
| L5DiT | £1,500 | £500 a month |
PayPal may round each payment by a penny. You can see every fee on Our Courses.
You start straight away
You do not wait until the last payment lands. Once the first payment goes through, your login and welcome email arrive and you can begin. Your 365 days to finish start from that day too.
Your start date never depends on when the last payment lands.
If Pay Later is not offered to you
Sometimes PayPal will not offer Pay in 3 or Pay in 30 days, usually because of age, residence or its own checks. We cannot see or change that decision. You still have two options:
- Pay in full by card through PayPal (you do not need a PayPal account).
- Ask your employer to pay. Many do, because a qualified trainer or assessor is worth more to them. See can my employer pay for my course?
If your employer is paying
Employers are invoiced and pay by Bank Transfer. They pay the full fee on the invoice rather than in instalments. Booking several staff at once? Our multiple-booking discount takes 5% off for 3 to 4 bookings and 10% off for 5 or more. Read how employers pay for staff training or see training for teams.
The money-back guarantee still applies
Every course carries our 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee, no questions asked, however you pay. If you ask for a refund within 14 days, we refund what you have paid, less PayPal’s processing charge. If you used Pay in 3, PayPal cancels the payments still to come.
