Course Provider Comparison
Ask the same questions of every provider before a deadline or sales call turns uncertainty into a payment.
Boundary: this does not rank providers or verify their claims for you. Use current official sources and written answers.
DUE-DILIGENCE WORKSHEET
Compare a course provider before paying
Use the same questions for two or more providers. Record what is official, written, dated, unclear or missing instead of letting branding decide.
Limit: this worksheet does not rank providers and does not verify a claim for you. Check the current institution, regulator and programme sources directly.
What to compare
Learning evidence
Ask what learners make, who reviews it, and whether feedback is specific enough to improve the work.
Outcome claims
Separate dated, comparable evidence from testimonials, guarantees and marketing language.
