The qualification is not free. You can start any course with a 7-day free trial: nothing is charged until day 8, there is no credit check and no contract, and you can cancel any time from your account.

How long do online courses take?

It depends on the qualification. Most Level 2 and Level 3 diplomas take 6 to 12 months at a comfortable pace. GCSEs and A-levels typically take 9 to 18 months. You can study faster or slower, and you can pause.
