FAQs Courses, Payment and Enrollment

To enrol on our Courses there is a 2-step process.

Step 1: Go to the Product Page (on our website www.degrandson.co.uk) for the Course you want and buy the Course you want. You will receive a Course Coupon.

Step 2: Go to www.degrandslnLMS.com (our Learning Management System that delivers the Course) where you first Register and then enrol on the Course.  The Course Coupon gives you detailed instruction on how to do this.  Also, the procedure is shown in the video ‘How to register and enrol’ on the LMS home page.

First you should talk to your manager or colleagues and get their advice.  If you’re still not sure then you should take the ‘Free Lesson’ (use the button on the Home page).  This lesson will take you step-wise through the choices of Standard and Scope of Certification.  If that doesn’t clarify things, send us an email to [email protected].

To successfully complete an Auditor Course you should meet certain minimum levels of education and work experience – usually this is not a barrier to candidates.

The qualification and experience requirements set out in our introductory Course, ‘e-Training with deGRANDSON Global’, are not mandatory.  You do not have to provide us with any evidence of meeting them.     However, if you do not meet these requirements, you can expect to struggle with the corresponding Certification Courses.

Qualifications:

*Depending on the Grade chosen there are varying levels of minimum educational qualification recommended.

*Recognition of Prior Learning: Learners who do not meet the education requirements may be capable of successfully completing the chosen course if, through their work experience and/or other means, they have achieved an educational standard in literacy and numeric comprehension that enables the effective conduct and management of QMS audits.

Work Experience:

*For the higher Grades experience at managerial level are advised.

To open the ‘e-Training with deGRANDSON Global’ Course (its free of charge) and get the full details on pre-qualification, please select the ‘Try It Now’ button on the left hand side and follow the ‘Try it Now’ instructions.

Duration varies from 15 minutes to 1 hour.  As far as possible we’ve not chopped up topics to give standard periods for the lessons, as this would likely hinder rather than promote learning.  Typically, lessons take 20 to 30 minutes.  And all lessons include a resume feature.  This means you can stop a lesson and, at a later time and/or place, start again at the point where you stopped.

The two tables show both the minimum and optimum requirements…

The enrolment process, with step-by-step instructions, is shown in a video at www.degrandsonLMS.com, the Learning Management System website that delivers our Courses.

To enroll in these Courses you need to fulfill one of these criteria…

1.  Either you have completed a Course with us before
2.  Or you have successfully completed a Pre-Test.

For Internal Auditor Grade the free Pre-Test Course is Course 004X and for Lead Auditor Grade it’s Course 006X.

So, the usual reason for the blank pop-up? It’s a new customer who hasn’t done the Pre-Test.

The PayPal page opens in a new browser window and is being blocked by the browser’s pop-up blocker settings.

Solution: Enable pop-ups to be displayed in your browser settings.

The payment was rejected because of an erroneous spoofing check made during the order entry process.  This is a feature we are trying to have removed as it has proved 100%% WRONG to date.  And we apologise for the inconvenience.

There is another way you can enroll, which is by going directly to our LMS (Learning Management System) that delivers our Courses.

Here’s how it’s done…

1. Go to degrandsonLMS.com.
2. Find ‘Register here’ on the right-hand side of the screen and create a Username and Password.
3. Go back to the home page and Log-in with your new Username and Password.
4. Select ‘Course Catalog’ on the Menu Bar and from the list choose the Course you require.
5. On the Course Outline that appears select ‘Buy Now’ and follow the on-screen instructions that follow.

In less than 2 minutes you’re ready to start your Course.

I’m afraid our policy is to accept payment only through our PayPal account, which provides automated accounts (including foreign exchange) and protection for both you as purchaser and for ourselves as the seller.

However, there are many ways you can pay through the PayPal system, namely,

1. With a PayPal account from funds in that account
2. With a PayPal account direct from your bank account (no credit/debit card required)
3. With a Debit Card – no PayPal account required
4. With a Credit Card – no PayPal account required
5. If none of these options suit, payment using one of these methods can be made on your behalf by a colleague or a friendly bank manager.

The screen sequence for Debit/Credit Card payment can be found here.

If you are a UK resident, you can spread payment using PayPal Credit.
