Common questions

How long does it take to complete a certification?

The beauty of self-paced is that you can work at your own speed around the work or home commitments you already have. You have access to the course materials for up to 12 months, so you can create a training schedule that suits you.

Are these certifications internationally recognised?

Certifications are a credible, third-party assessment of your skill and knowledge for a given subject. The certifications you gain via ACE Self-Paced are globally recognised qualifications. Getting certified is a smart move. It’s a clear, trusted way to show what you know—and it can help you stand out, land better opportunities, and move ahead faster.

What support is available if I struggle with the course content or materials?

Yes it's online, self-paced training–but we won't leave you to flounder. If you need help, you'll have access to our team via email support when you need it.

Do I need prior experience for these certifications?

Our self-paced courses are designed to kick-start careers and build skills. Beginners are welcome across all topics, and there are no pre-requisites for taking these courses.

How quickly can I start after purchasing?

Allow 2-3 working days for us to email you everything you need to start learning. Our course materials are top-notch, so this short wait will be worth it we promise.
