Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Empower Academy different from other online training platforms?

Empower Academy is built around people, not automation. Many online platforms rely on pre-recorded content and auto-marking, which can leave learners feeling isolated. Here, you are supported by real tutors who actively teach, assess and guide you. You can book one-to-one calls, receive detailed feedback and ask questions at any stage. The focus is not just on passing a course but on building confidence and capability.

Is this fully online distance learning?

Yes. All courses are delivered fully online through our Moodle learning platform. There are no classrooms, no travel and no fixed session times. You log in when it suits you and progress at your own pace, fitting learning around work, family and everyday life.

How long do I have to complete my course?

You receive 365 days access from the date of enrolment. Some learners complete their course within three to six months, while others use the full year. You can move quickly, slow down or take short breaks if life gets busy. You stay in control of the pace.

Do I get tutor support or am I on my own?

You are never on your own. Ongoing tutor support is built into every course. You can message your tutor directly and book calls for guidance, reassurance or feedback. This level of access is often missing from competitor platforms and it is something we intentionally prioritise.

How is work marked and how long does it take?

All work is marked by qualified assessors with real industry experience. Feedback is clear, supportive and focused on helping you improve. Most submissions are marked within seven to ten working days. You will always understand what you did well, areas for improvement and what to do next.

What happens if I don’t pass first time?

You will not be failed and left unsure what to do. If work is referred, you receive clear guidance on what needs to be improved and how to do it. You can resubmit without penalty. Learning is treated as a process, not a test of perfection.

Are the qualifications recognised and regulated?

All qualifications are regulated and issued through recognised awarding organisations. All completed work goes through internal quality assurance before being submitted. Certificates are usually issued within two weeks of course completion, once quality checks are complete.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You can choose to pay in full or spread the cost over monthly instalments. There is no interest and no hidden fees. We believe access to training should be manageable and stress-free.

Can I study alongside full-time work?

Yes. Courses are designed for working professionals. You decide when and how often you study, whether that is evenings, early mornings or weekends. Learning fits around your life, not the other way around.

What if I need reasonable adjustments or extra support?

Inclusive learning is built into how we work. Reasonable adjustments are discussed with you and put in place in a practical and respectful way. This is not a tick-box exercise but a genuine commitment to supporting every learner.

Still unsure if Empower Academy is right for you?

You are welcome to contact us before enrolling. We will talk through your goals, answer your questions honestly, and help you decide if the course is the right fit. The right qualification without the right support often leads to frustration. We focus on both.
