Common questions

More questions and answers

Is the training really free?

Yes. Every lesson and the assessment are free, with no account and no card. You pay only if you pass and decide you want a certificate, which costs NZ$24.90 for a standard course, or NZ$34.90 for a longer one.

Is this certificate accredited?

No. This is independent online awareness training. It is not a qualification, it is not approved by NZQA, it carries no credits and it does not assess practical skills. We say this plainly so nobody buys it by mistake.

Will my employer accept it?

We cannot promise that, because each employer decides what training it accepts. If a job or contract asks for a particular qualification, check with them before you pay. The training itself costs nothing to try.

How do I get my certificate?

As soon as your payment is confirmed you can download a PDF on screen, and we email you a copy. Each certificate has a unique ID and a QR code so anyone can check it on our verification page.

What if I do not pass?

You see which topics to revisit, and you can review the lessons and try again for free. You never pay for an assessment.

Is there a subscription?

No. A certificate is a one-time payment, and nothing renews.
