How do I compare two course quotes fairly?
Compare the written offer rather than an advertised headline price.
What belongs in a fair comparison?
Use an itemised written quote for each course. Ask about total fees, required checks, travel, equipment, reassessment and refund terms. An advertised figure may leave questions about what you must pay or arrange separately.
How should you record missing figures?
Mark an unknown cost as unconfirmed rather than treating it as zero. Put the same headings beside each offer and ask each provider to fill the gaps. This site has no verified course prices to substitute for those answers.

What remains unconfirmed?
Not yet confirmed: current itemised prices.
What can you do next?
Ask both providers for itemised quotes.
