Frequently asked questions
How does the course finder match me to a qualification?
It looks at your starting point, your goal, the sector you want to work in, and how many hours per week you can study. It then matches against the qualifications Lift College offers, prioritising the right RQF level for your goal.
Do I have to provide my email?
No. The course finder is free, runs in your browser, and stores nothing. You can speak to an adviser afterwards if you want to talk through your match.
What if more than one qualification fits?
The finder will show you the closest match first, plus a secondary option where one exists. An adviser can talk through which is the better long-term fit if you are unsure.
