Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer a discount for training?

As so many of you have returned to the centre to train I am pleased to share my loyalty discounts with you. The following explains the benefits to you:

Complete any course at the Cottage and you qualify for 10% off the tuition fees of  future courses.
Discounts available per person off tuition fees when two or more people book a course.
Discounts will be given to 2 or more courses booked together

Please note that these discounts do not apply to assessment fees and all original booking conditions apply.

What certification can I expect to receive?

The Cottage Training Centre is accredited by a professional body- ABT We are also an approved VTCT centre and an approved trainer for 4tmedical. Anyone completing their training to a competent standard will automatically receive a Cottage Training Centre certificate. Please note that your tuition does not differ whichever path you choose. Practice is required after the majority of courses to ensure you feel confident. Assessment and registration costs are stated on each individual course page.

Some organisations and insurance companies such as FHT and AOR require VTCT qualifications, so please check that the qualification you choose is recognised by them.

ABT

These professional bodies provide membership and insurance. They are recognised by employers, insurance companies and professionals in the UK. Their insurance will permit you to offer your qualification to members of the public. On completion of your training you will practice with friends and family and return to the centre to complete an assessment. To view more information on ABT visit https://abtinsurance.co.uk/Accreditation/Accreditation

VTCT

VTCT is a national awarding body regulated by OFQUAL and offers certificates and diplomas for different subjects. Your final qualification will be recognised by employers, insurance companies and professionals worldwide. There are registration costs, assessment and certification fees to pay and these vary depending on the qualification you are studying. After you have completed your training you will complete case studies on friends and family and when you are feeling confident return to the centre to take online exams and three practical assessments. I issue all the paperwork required and guidance on the assessment procedure. Assessment days are held 2 days a month at the centre so you can choose a suitable date.

** Please note that it is possible to convert your original certificate to a VTCT certificate at a later date. It will involve the exams and extra assessments so extra costs will naturally occur but as your tuition has all been to the correct standards you will not require extra teaching.
