Refer a friend
£50 Amazon gift card for every person you refer
Know someone thinking about a career in IT, cyber security or data? Refer them. Once they enrol and have been a student for one month, we send you a £50 Amazon.co.uk gift card. No limit on how many people you refer.
£50
Amazon.co.uk gift card
Per qualifying referral. No cap, no limit, no catch beyond the conditions listed here.
What has to happen for it to qualify
- The person you refer must be new to us, not someone who has already enquired
- They must name you when they enquire or enrol
- They must enrol on one of our paid programmes
- They must remain an active student for one month from their enrolment date
That is the whole list. The one month wait simply covers the cancellation period, so it is stated here rather than buried at the bottom of the page.
How it works
Four stages, and you only need to do the first one.
Step one
You refer them
Send us their details, or tell them to give your name when they get in touch. Either works.
Step two
We speak to them
A proper conversation about what they want to do. If we are not the right fit for them, we will say so.
Step three
They enrol and get started
They choose a programme and begin studying with tutor and mentor support.
Step four
You get your £50
Once they have been a student for one month and are past their cancellation period, we email your Amazon gift card.
Why there is a one month wait
It is a practical reason rather than a hurdle we have invented, so it is worth explaining properly.
Every student has a cancellation period after enrolling. If they cancel within it, the enrolment is reversed and there is no enrolment left to reward. If we paid out the moment somebody signed up, we would sometimes be issuing a voucher against an enrolment that then disappeared, and asking people to hand vouchers back is not a conversation anyone wants to have.
So we wait one month. By then the cancellation period has passed, the enrolment is settled, and your voucher is yours with nothing hanging over it. That is the only reason for the delay, and there is nothing else to clear before it is paid.
Refer someone
Two ways to do it, both fine.
Send us their details
Give us their name and how to reach them, along with your own name and email so we can match the referral to you. We will make contact and mention you referred them.
Please make sure they are happy for you to pass on their details before you do. Nobody enjoys an unexpected call about a course they never asked about.
Submit a referralOr just tell them to mention you
Send them our way and ask them to give your full name and email address when they enquire or enrol. This is often easier, and it means they get in touch when they are ready rather than when you are.
Either route qualifies. What matters is that your name reaches us before or at the point they enrol.

How much do I get for referring someone?
A £50 Amazon.co.uk gift card for every person you refer who enrols on one of our programmes and remains a student for one month. There is no limit on how many people you can refer.
When do I get the voucher?
Once your referral has been an active student for one month from their enrolment date. We do not pay the moment they sign up, for a simple reason: students have a cancellation period, and if someone cancels within it the enrolment is reversed. Waiting one month means the enrolment is settled before we issue your voucher, so nobody ends up being asked to give one back.
Do I have to be a current student to refer someone?
No. Current students, past students and anyone who knows our programmes can refer. You do not need to have studied with us at all.
Is there a limit on how many people I can refer?
No limit. Each qualifying referral earns a separate £50 voucher.
What counts as a referral?
Someone who has not already enquired with us, who names you when they enquire or enrol, and who then enrols on a paid programme. Tell them to give your full name and email address when they speak to us, or submit their details yourself through the form and we will contact them.
What if the person I refer had already contacted you?
Then it does not qualify. If someone is already in our system from a previous enquiry or an advert they responded to, we cannot count them as a new referral. Check with us first if you are unsure, and we will tell you before you go to the trouble.
Can I refer myself, or a member of my household?
No. Self referrals and referrals within the same household do not qualify.
What happens if my referral cancels within the first month?
The voucher is not issued. If a student cancels within their cancellation period the enrolment is reversed, so there is nothing to reward. That is the entire reason for the one month wait, and we would rather state it plainly here than have you find out after the fact.
Is the voucher taxable?
Possibly, depending on your circumstances. We do not deduct tax and we are not tax advisers. If you are referring people regularly or you are self employed, check your own position with HMRC or an accountant.
Terms and conditions
- The Course2Career Refer a Friend scheme is operated by Course Correct Ltd, trading as Course 2 Career, company number 13597026, registered at 5 Brayford Square, Stepney, London E1 0SG ("we", "us").
- To qualify for a reward, the person referred ("the referred student") must: (a) be new to Course2Career and not have previously enquired, registered an interest, or been contacted by us; (b) provide the referrer's full name and email address at the point of enquiry or enrolment; (c) enrol on and pay for, or enter into a payment agreement for, one of our paid programmes; and (d) remain an active enrolled student for a continuous period of one month from their enrolment date, their cancellation period having expired.
- The reward is issued only after the referred student has completed one continuous month as an active student and their cancellation period has expired. No reward is payable where the referred student cancels, withdraws, is withdrawn, defers, or ceases to be an active student at any point during that one month period, or where their account falls into arrears and is not brought up to date.
- Where the referred student exercises their statutory right to cancel, or receives a refund for any reason, no reward is payable.
- The reward is a £50 Amazon.co.uk gift card, issued electronically to the email address supplied by the referrer, normally within 28 days of the referral qualifying. Rewards have no cash alternative and are non transferable.
- Amazon.co.uk is not a sponsor of this promotion. Amazon.co.uk gift cards are issued and managed by Amazon EU S.à r.l. and are subject to their own terms and conditions, available at amazon.co.uk/gc-legal.
- There is no limit on the number of qualifying referrals a referrer may make. Each qualifying referral earns one reward.
- Self referrals do not qualify. Referrals between individuals residing at the same address do not qualify. Employees, contractors and immediate family of Course Correct Ltd do not qualify.
- Only one referrer may claim per referred student. Where more than one person claims to have referred the same student, the first record held by us will apply, and our decision on this is final.
- A referral cannot be applied retrospectively. If the referred student has already enquired with us, responded to an advertisement, or been contacted by us before the referral is made, the referral does not qualify.
- Rewards cannot be combined with, exchanged for, or offset against course fees, discounts, or any other offer.
- Referrers must have the referred person's consent before passing on their contact details. We process referral data in accordance with our privacy policy and our registration with the Information Commissioner's Office, reference ZA026178.
- Any tax liability arising from receipt of a reward is the responsibility of the recipient. We do not deduct tax from rewards and we do not provide tax advice.
- We reserve the right to withhold a reward where we reasonably believe a referral has been made fraudulently, in bad faith, or in breach of these terms.
- We may amend, suspend or withdraw this scheme at any time. Referrals already made and qualifying under the terms in force at the time of the referral will be honoured.
- These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
If anything here is unclear, ask us before you refer someone rather than afterwards. Call 0800 294 6300 or email [email protected].
Know someone who should be doing this?
Most people who change career into IT heard about it from someone they know rather than from an advert. If that is you, pass it on.
