What should I check if a course is advertised as free?
Funding and additional costs need separate confirmation.
What can free leave unanswered?
An advertised funded place still needs an eligibility check and clear terms. Ask which charges are covered and whether materials or placement expenses sit outside the offer. Do not assume that a headline applies to your circumstances.
What should you obtain before enrolling?
Request the funding conditions, confirmation of your eligibility and a list of any remaining costs. Keep these with the enrolment terms. No funding decision or provider's free-course offer has been verified by this guide.
