Frequently asked questions
Are the online courses suitable for beginners?▾
Yes — courses across the Taitam-D network span every skill level, and each course page lists what you'll learn before you enroll.
Will I receive a certificate upon completion?▾
It depends on the course. Some courses lead to a qualification awarded by an external awarding body such as VTCT — the course page says so where that is the case. Other courses are Taitam-D Academy London courses: you receive a course completion certificate issued by us, with an online page where it can be checked. That certificate is not a regulated qualification and is not awarded by an external awarding body. The conditions for issuing a certificate are set out on each course page.
Do I need special equipment to take the courses?▾
It depends on the course — check the course's own overview and curriculum for any tools or equipment it calls for.
