Dyslexia Certificate Course Fees

Fees for the Certificate course in Teaching Children with Dyslexia (or similar difficulties) are as follows:

Registration
You may register/enroll for the course at any time throughout the year.

Secure ordering
The cost of your dyslexia course includes the costs of Registration, all the materials, postage, administrative costs, use of the course website and assessment of your Assignments. You may order your course materials by credit or debit card through our secure server link. This secure transaction is carried out by SECPay, who maintain the highest levels of data encryption protected by firewall technology.

Your course materials will be mailed to you within 48 hours of our receiving your application. Delivery times vary from one country to another, but you should allow up to fourteen days. We guarantee to replace your course materials if the packet should be lost or damaged in the mail.

Can I pay by check/cheque?
Payment by check/cheque is accepted, and there is a form on which you can type your details. You can then print it out and send it to us with your check/cheque. (If you do not have a printer, please copy the information onto a sheet of paper - clearly printed - and send it with your check/cheque.) Processing your payment by check/cheque will take a little longer (7 to 21 days) and costs slightly more for some currencies. Payment for the course is not accepted in installments.

Ordering by invoice
If you wish to order the Dyslexia Certificate course using an invoice from your school, college or organization, details are here. See also the note under 'Receipt' below, which is sometimes a less complicated way of dealing with funding through your school.

Receipt
A receipt is provided for all students, after payment of the costs of the course, for Registration and course fees. This may be passed to your school for re-imbursement if your school has agreed to fund you.

Feedback
We aim to provide an efficient administrative basis for the course. When we receive your payment for the course, provided that you have given us your e-mail address on the application form, we will e-mail you within 48 hours to confirm that your course materials have been dispatched to you. Each of your five Assignments will be assessed and your grade sent back to you as soon as possible, normally within 2-4 days.

Course materials
All the course materials are included in the course fee, and there are no other costs apart from the purchase of the course text book ($16 or £14.60 approx.).

Telephoning us
Unfortunately, as we cover the whole world and all time zones, we do not have the financial resources to maintain a 24-hour telephone response service while maintaining our course fees at a reasonable level. However, if there is a query, the e-mail service is extremely fast, and we always do our best to answer incoming e-mails within 24 hours.

Confidentiality
No mention is made of dyslexia on the pack in which your course materials are sent to you.

Completing the course
The recommended time for completion of your studies is six months, but you should complete the course within twelve months unless there are exceptional circumstances, when an extension will be allowed.

The course website
Registration for the course includes full use of our course website and online Discussion Group. The password which allows you to access the website will be sent to you with your course materials.

Group orders
A 10% discount is available for group orders for three or more students.

First language not English?
A satisfactory command of the English language is necessary for completion of the course, although spelling errors will be ignored in the assessment of your Assignments.

Our Research Program
Direct Learning conducts its own research program, which feeds into the information we publish in our course books and on our websites.
