Your course enrolment

When you buy an enrolment on the Online British Sign Language Course you are buying a single learner licence for a single named person, or, if you buy multiple seats in one transaction, one licence per seat. Each licence includes:

• full access to the current published course content
• two years’ access from the learner’s first login
• a certificate of completion for the CPD-certified course, with a unique verification code, on completion

Enrolments are sold as a one-time payment. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal and we do not store your card details.

Learner accounts are personal to the named learner. Logins must not be shared between people, sold, resold or transferred to a third party. We may suspend an account that appears to be in shared use.

Where you buy multiple seats on behalf of a class, team or organisation, the buyer (the “Admin”) is responsible for: providing accurate learner details, distributing logins or self-enrolment links to the intended learners only, and ensuring that learners are aware of these terms, our Privacy Policy and our Refund Policy. The Admin can view each learner’s username, email, assessment scores and completion status from their enrolment dashboard, but cannot view learner passwords or detailed activity logs.

Course content is reviewed periodically. We may add, update, replace or remove sections, resources and assessments during your access period. Changes that materially reduce the scope of the course will be communicated to active learners by email. We will take reasonable steps to preserve completed progress, and will not require active learners to repeat completed sections solely because the course has been updated.

The certificate confirms that the learner completed the course on the date of issue. It does not expire, but the version of the syllabus it relates to is the version live on the date of completion.

Cancellations and refunds are governed by our Refund Policy, which forms part of these terms and conditions.

Password and security

9. When you register on this Website, you will be asked to create a password, which you should keep confidential and not disclose or share with anyone.
10. If we have reason to believe that there is or is likely to be any misuse of the Website or breach of security, we may require you to change your password or suspend your account.

Learners under 18

The course may be used by adults and younger learners with appropriate support. Learners under 18 must be enrolled by a parent, guardian, teacher or other responsible adult, who is responsible for keeping the learner’s login details secure and for any use of the account.

Schools, colleges and other organisations enrolling learners under 18 confirm, by completing checkout, that they have the lawful authority to do so under their own safeguarding and data-protection arrangements.

11. This Website may contain links to other sites. Unless expressly stated, these sites are not under the control of Lisia Digital Limited or that of our affiliates.
