Before you buy

Common questions before you start

💳 No VAT addedThe price you see is the price you pay. Nothing is added at checkout.
🔄 14-day money-backNot happy with the course? Tell us within 14 days and we will refund you.
🔒 Secure paymentCard payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
💬 Real peopleQuestions are answered by our Irish support team, not an automated queue.

Where a certificate has already been downloaded, the refund position is set out in our terms and conditions.

01Are your courses accepted across Ireland?

Yes. Our courses are HSA-aligned, delivered by QQI-certified instructors and used by workplaces in every county. Certificates meet the training requirements of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.

Manual Handling — important clarification: the HSA does not approve, accredit or endorse individual courses or providers. Acceptance is your employer’s decision.
02How long until I get my certificate?

You download your certificate the same day — the moment you pass the assessment. It is valid for 3 years.

Practical-course requirement: for Manual Handling and Working at Heights, instructor approval of the practical video is required before the certificate is issued. Passing theory or uploading a file alone does not issue the certificate.
03Can I complete the course on my phone?

Absolutely. Everything works on any device — start on your phone and finish on a laptop. Courses are available in 20+ languages.

04What if I don’t pass first time?

You can retake the assessment as many times as you need at no extra cost, with feedback to help you along the way.

05Do you offer team & bulk pricing?

Yes — volume discounts apply automatically at checkout, from €35 down to €20 per course. No quotes, no phone calls.

06How do I verify a certificate?

Every certificate has a unique code that anyone can validate instantly on our verification page.

07How do the bulk discounts work?

The more course keys you buy, the lower the price per course — automatically. Single courses are €35; it drops to as little as €20 each at 200+ keys. The right tier is applied at checkout, no codes needed. No VAT.

08Do the course keys expire?

No — course keys never expire. Buy in bulk now at the best price and assign them to staff whenever you're ready, this year or next.

09How do I send course keys to my staff?

From your dashboard, enter a colleague's email and send them a key. They get an instant email with a link to start. You can track every send, delivery and activation under "Sent Keys".

10Is this a subscription? Do we pay every year?

No — there's no subscription and no annual renewal. You buy course keys as you need them and they never expire; the free business account manages everything. You only ever pay for the keys you use.

11Can I get an invoice, and is there VAT?

Yes — every order generates a downloadable invoice in your dashboard under "Orders". Our training is zero-rated, so there's no VAT to pay on top.

12What happens after I upload a practical video?

Once your online assessment is passed and your practical video has been reviewed and approved by an assessor, your certificate is generated as a PDF in your account to download, print or share. Nothing is posted.

13What if my Manual Handling video is not approved?

You are told what to correct and you re-record it free of charge. There is no extra fee and no limit that catches people out.

14What do I need for the Manual Handling video?

A phone or laptop camera, a bit of clear floor space, and a box or similar object you can lift safely. Nothing heavy is required. You can record the assessment at home. The point is to demonstrate correct technique, not to lift a real work load.
