You’ll be able to claim your reduction as soon as your friend finishes 14 days on their course and makes their first tuition fee payment.
Of course, graduates can also make use of our refer a friend offer. If you’ve already completed your studies with us, you can receive your reward in the form of a gift voucher to the store of your choice.
