Before you purchase

Before making a purchase, it’s natural to have questions. Whether it’s choosing the right study option or planning your budget, we’ll help you make an informed decision with confidence.

What are my study options?

We offer four different study options for learners. These are:

  • eLearning: Our interactive and engaging eLearning allows you to move through resources and activities at a time and pace that suits you.
  • Classroom: Our in-person classroom courses provide an interactive and collaborative learning environment, where you’ll benefit from the knowledge and passion our trainers bring to the subject.
  • Live virtual classroom: Our virtual courses provide the personal teaching experience of a classroom with the ease and flexibility of a virtual environment. All the benefits, without the travel.
  • Blended: Combine our eLearning with face-to-face training. Study the Foundation certification at your own pace, then use the Practitioner workshop to put the theory into practice with guidance from one of our expert trainers.

Are all the courses accredited?

Most of the courses we offer at ILX are accredited by globally recognised examining bodies, ensuring they meet industry standards and provide valuable qualifications. However, we also provide non-accredited courses designed to support professional development and practical skill-building. The course details should clearly indicate whether it is accredited, but if you are unsure, please get in touch and our customer service team would be happy to guide you through the options.

Do you have courses available in other languages?

The main language of all our courses is English. However, we can also provide our PRINCE2® and PRINCE2 Agile® courses in German or Dutch, and our ITIL® 4 training in German.

Online learning and additional resources

Our online learning and additional resources are designed to provide a seamless training experience. These answers will help ensure you make the most of all available resources.

How do I access my online manual/eBook?

All PeopleCert Foundation and Foundation & Practitioner courses come with a digital version of the manual. If you have chosen an eLearning course, you will be sent an email within 48 hours of your purchase to register on the PeopleCert portal. And then once registered, you will be able to access the online manual.

For all live virtual in-person classroom courses that include a digital manual or eBook, you will be sent an email invitation approximately two days before your course starts to register on the relevant examining body’s online portal. Once registered you will be able to access the digital version of your manual. 

PLEASE NOTE: For PeopleCert manuals, you will only have access to the online version for five years. PeopleCert courses include PRINCE2, PRINCE2 Agile, MSP ®, MoP ®, P3O ®, M_o_R ® and ITIL.

When will I get the hard copy of my manual?

If you decide to purchase a hard copy of the course manual, this will be shipped to your chosen address approximately two weeks before the start of your live virtual or in-person classroom course, or within 48 hours of purchase if you have opted for an eLearning course.

How do I access the digital course materials for my live virtual classroom training?

These will be accessible via the ILX Portal. Approximately two weeks before the start of your course, you will be sent a list of full instructions including a link to the portal. The course materials will be provided in a PDF format and available to download.
