FAQ Learners Details

Q: What happens if I give the wrong details about myself? 

A: We require basic learner details for funding purposes for our Deaf adult courses and for certification purposes for our QQI-accredited courses. Giving us the wrong details may affect your place on the course and in the case of QQI courses it will mean QQI will not issue you with a QQI certificate upon successful completion of the course. 

Q: Why do you need correct learner details? 

A: We require only basic learner details but they are required for important reasons. Our Deaf adult  courses are funded by SOLAS and we are responsible for registering you with them. Your registration and funding for the course can be delayed if you provide us with incorrect details. If you are booked on a QQI course, we are responsible for registering you with QQI. This is solely for certification purposes.

Any  incorrect details given to us will cause a delay to your registration with QQI. Without the correct details, QQI will not allow your registration with them and you will not receive a QQI certificate even if you  successfully complete the course. 

Q: Why do you need my PPSN? 

A: We require your PPSN along with very basic learner details either for funding purposes or for  certification purposes. For Deaf learners booking a QQI course with us, we require your PPSN for funding  and certification purposes. Your PPSN will not be shared with any agency other than SOLAS and/or QQI. 

Q: I am from the UK and do not have a PPSN. What are my options? 

A: The UK equivalent of a PPSN is the National Insurance number. Please enter your NI number in the  section where it asks for a PPSN.
