Is there any financial assistance available for courses?

How can I contact Discover Training if I have more questions?
Our team is here to help! You can reach us via email, phone, or through our online contact form on the website. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have.
do i have to attend every week?
Yes, a minimum of 90% attendance is required to ensure you don’t miss out on essential course material. Missing sessions may put you behind and could impact your ability to pass the course. However, we understand that sometimes things come up. If there’s a time when you can’t attend, just let us know – we’ll work with you to provide support and resources to help you stay on track.
Am I guaranteed a job when I complete my course?
No, we’re not a recruitment agency, so completing a course with us doesn’t guarantee a job. However, the qualifications and skills you gain will significantly enhance your employability. Our courses are designed to equip you with valuable knowledge and certifications that are highly sought after in fields like education, healthcare, and social care. These sectors have a growing demand for skilled professionals, which can greatly improve your chances of finding employment.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I GET A JOB MID-WAY THROUGH THE qualification ?
If you secure a job while studying, no problem! We offer flexible and alternative options to support you in completing your course alongside your new role. Our team will work with you to adjust your study plan as needed, ensuring you can balance work and study without missing out on important material or assessments.
What qualifications do I need to enrol in a course?
Most of our courses, including entry-level qualifications, don’t require previous experience or formal qualifications. Each course page will specify any entry requirements, so please check the details to ensure you meet them.
Can I study at my own pace?
Yes, our courses are designed to be flexible, allowing you to study at a pace that suits your schedule. However, some courses may have a set duration and compulsory attendance to the class sessions to complete the course, so please check specific course details for guidance on timeframes.
What support is available while I study?
We offer various support options, including dedicated tutors, access to online resources, and guidance from our support team. We’re here to help you succeed every step of the way.

Are Discover Training’s qualifications recognised?
Absolutely. Our qualifications are accredited by respected awarding bodies and are widely recognised across industries, including education, healthcare, and social care sectors.
Can I do more than 1 qualification at the same time?
Yes, in many cases, learners can take more than one qualification at once. If you already have prior qualifications, this may impact your options. Generally:
If you have 3 or more A Levels (equivalent to one Level 3 qualification) or a BTEC Level 3 Diploma (equivalent to 3 A Levels), this could affect the number of courses you can take simultaneously.
If you do not hold other qualifications, you may be eligible to pursue multiple Level 2 qualifications with us.
You can only Enrol in ONE Level 3 course
To ensure you’re on the best path, we recommend reaching out to our team for guidance based on your specific qualifications and goals. Contact Us for personalised advice!
do i need a volunteer placement?
Yes, a volunteer placement is required, but only for specific courses. If you are enrolling in our Level 2 Support Teaching and Learning or Level 3 Support Teaching and Learning courses, a placement is necessary as part of the assessment process. This hands-on experience allows you to apply your learning in a real-world setting and is essential for completing these qualifications. For other courses, a placement is not required—please refer to the specific course details or contact us if you have any questions.
