Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I pay by credit card?

  Can I pay by credit card? Yes, this is easy.

  PayPal is our 'payment processor' for credit card and debit card payments, so you do not need to pay by your PayPal account.

  
  

  

  SELECT Pay Pal and then the card option will appear.

• Can we pay by invoice or purchase order?

  We don't take purchase orders or invoices for our courses as they are usually very small amounts. The money that we save on using automated systems is passed onto our teachers to provide very high quality, low cost courses. Booking in this way also gives you instant access.

  For small amounts - a teacher could pay by card and then reclaim form the school petty cash or expenses.

  For group bookings -we can make exceptions where a Trust is buying a large number of courses and have a purchase order agreement - there is sometimes a processing charge for this. If you would like to discuss it, contact us here https://food-teachers-centre.cademy.io/enquiry?type=message. Access to courses is granted once it has been paid in full.

• Once I have purchased my course how do I log in?

  Once I have purchased my course how do I log in?

  When you purchase training, you are asked to give your direct email and contact details. This email is used to log you in. TYPE IT CAREFULLY.  

  • If someone is booking on your behalf, such as the school finance officer - make sure they add you as the guest/participant and give your correct email address
  • Its very important not to create multiple Cademy accounts. Just use your school email address. Otherwise it is difficult to log in and out of each email account and locate different courses.

  Seek help from your school IT SUPPORT, as this shows that your school FIREWALL is blocking the site locally.  You can test if your school is blocking your course by trying to access via:

  • your home internet connection, or
  • your phone using mobile data, not the school Wi-Fi

  If it works outside the school network, the next step would be to ask your school IT team to allow access to Cademy, especially:

  • cademy.io
  • api.cademy.io
  • *.cademy.io
