Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, you can. When you book for a course, you will have two basic choices.

Either you can pay in full. (You will also have the option to pay a non-refundable deposit. The balance will be taken when you start the course.)

Or you can pay in instalments.

This is the second option, so scroll down the online booking page till you find the button to pay by instalments.

The booking page will look something like this:

Spread the Cost – Payment by Instalments

The first instalment of £xxx will be paid immediately upon booking. The second instalment will be paid automatically one month after the first, and the third one month after the second.

This is by far the easiest and most painless way of paying.

Pay by instalments

Please read after you have set up your instalments

After setting up your instalments, you will receive an email confirming that you have made payment.

Please follow the instructions in the email to book yourself onto the course.

You will need to click a link in the email you are sent which will direct you to a booking form.

Until you have filled in and sent this form you are not booked onto the course, so it’s really important you do this as soon as possible.

Please read if you are booking late

After you have set up your instalments, please ignore the instructions in the email you are sent asking you to click a link and fill in a form. This is because our booking system cuts off one hour before the course starts, and won’t let you fill in the form.
Instead, fill in this form – and once we have received it, we will confirm your place on the course.

Instructions of how to pay by instalments

After you have clicked the button to pay by instalments, you will be taken to our booking system (via acuity scheduling).

It may be a little confusing the first time you use it.

You will be asked to supply basic details such as your name, email address, and mobile phone number. If you don’t have a mobile number, please provide your landline number.

Then you will be asked to set up your instalments. Just follow the instructions and input your card details – either a debit or credit card is fine.

Just occasionally, Stripe (the payment gateway I use) has a problem with your card. This might be because your card is registered at another address. So be sure to use the correct postcode for your card. Otherwise, you may need to use a different card.

Once you have made payment (of your first instalment), you will receive an automatic email from acuity.

Please follow the instructions in this email to book yourself onto the course. You will find a certificate code for your course in the email. And the link “schedule”.

i.e. Certificate codes: 02B7424F Schedule

Click the link, which will direct you to our booking form.

Fill in this form as fully as possible.

Until you have filled in and sent this form, you are not booked onto the course.

It’s really important you do this as soon as possible, particularly if the course is close to being fully booked.

As soon as you’ve submitted the form, you will immediately receive a confirmation with all the details related to your booking and attending the course.
