£1295.00 + VAT Per Learner
Includes:
Additional Charges:
£600 + VAT - Per additional assessment visit, this is typically required where the assessor has confirmed an assessment within 7 days, and then turns up on site and the learner has either done nothing or the assessment can’t go ahead as the learner has meetings or other work which takes priority over the assessment.
However, to date we have never charged a client for an extra assessment visit which is down to the rigorous planning and support we provide our learners.
