Why £950 Is a Genuinely Fair Price
The qualification itself is fixed by NCFE regardless of provider — what actually varies between providers is the level of support included at that price. At £950, you’re not paying extra for tutor time, marking, or resubmissions, and you’re getting a properly accredited qualification rather than a cut-down version of one.
Worth checking before you enrol anywhere: verify the provider is a genuinely approved NCFE centre. You can check this exact qualification directly on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications, which confirms the qualification number, level, and current regulatory status.
