Before you buy
Buying the whole pathway in one go costs less than buying its units one at a time, because each unit price includes its own tutoring and assessment. You can also study unit by unit. When the centre's assessor records that you have achieved a unit, it counts as credit towards every qualification that includes it. Once you have achieved enough units for a qualification, the centre submits your results to VTCT Skills, which awards the qualification. You do not need to buy the pathway as well. If you buy the whole pathway, you pay the full price shown. Units you bought earlier are not deducted.You need to log in before you can enroll in this course.

Frequently asked questions
Are the online courses suitable for beginners?▾
Yes — courses across the Taitam-D network span every skill level, and each course page lists what you'll learn before you enroll.
Will I receive a certificate upon completion?▾
It depends on the course. Some courses lead to a qualification awarded by an external awarding body such as VTCT — the course page says so where that is the case. Other courses are Taitam-D Academy London courses: you receive a course completion certificate issued by us, with an online page where it can be checked. That certificate is not a regulated qualification and is not awarded by an external awarding body. The conditions for issuing a certificate are set out on each course page.
Do I need special equipment to take the courses?▾
It depends on the course — check the course's own overview and curriculum for any tools or equipment it calls for.
