Sell Your Training Courses Online
For Training Providers
Sell your courses to buyers in the UK and 200+ countries
envicourse.com is a course marketplace, not a directory. Buyers across more than 200 countries browse your courses, choose a date and pay at checkout in their own currency — we pass you the delegate and the paperwork. No joining fee, no listing fee, no monthly cost. Commission only when a course sells.
Applications are reviewed by a person, not a portal. Most providers hear back within 24 hours.
Supply equipment rather than training? If you sell PPE, instruments, testing kit or consumables, category sponsorship puts your brand on the course pages your buyers are already reading. One sponsor per category, from £225 for three months.

The problem we exist to solve
Most training providers are excellent at delivering courses and considerably less enthusiastic about filling them. Marketing is a separate discipline with its own budget and its own skill set, and for a business whose trainers are its product, it tends to be the thing that gets done last.
The result is familiar. A scheduled course sits at four delegates against a viability threshold of six, three weeks out. Cancelling means refunding, rescheduling, apologising to four clients who had already arranged cover, and losing the trainer’s day anyway. Running it at four means running it at a loss.
That gap between four and six is the space we work in. We’re frequently the difference between a course going ahead and a course being pulled — and the delegates we bring found the course through us, so the commission sits on business this channel created.
Why providers list with us
Six practical reasons, in roughly the order providers tend to raise them.
No cost until you sell
No joining fee, no listing fee, no monthly retainer, no minimum term and no charge for the pages we build. If a course doesn’t sell, it has cost you nothing but the time it took to send us your dates.
Buyers who complete, not just enquire
This is a full transactional store. A buyer can find a course, pick a date and pay in one sitting, at two in the morning if that’s when they’re dealing with it. No enquiry form, no callback, no drop-off in between.
Sold in the buyer’s own currency
The store sells into more than 200 countries and territories, converting prices at live exchange rates so a buyer in Doha or Dublin pays on their own card in their own currency. You’re always paid in your own currency against the price you set — the FX exposure is ours, not yours.
We do the listing work
You send course details and dates. We write the pages, structure them for search, publish and maintain them. You supply the information; the writing, publishing and upkeep are ours.
Delegates from beyond your own reach
Buyers reach us searching by course and location rather than by provider name, so they arrive at your listing cold. Commission is paid on delegates who came to you through this channel.
Group and on-site enquiries
Alongside individual bookings we handle a steady flow of group and on-site requirements — whole-team bookings quoted for the group rather than per head, which are the enquiries most worth having.
What it costs
Commission is deducted from the advertised course price and you invoice us for the balance. Rates are banded by course value, so low-cost awareness courses and high-value qualifications are not treated the same way.
The band is set by the price of the individual course, not by your total volume, and it is rechecked whenever a price changes. On a £450 course you receive £337.50. On a £2,400 qualification you receive £1,920.
All prices are held and advertised exclusive of VAT, with VAT applied at checkout. There are no payment processing fees deducted from your share and no charge for currency conversion — both sit on our side of the transaction.
Higher rates on the lowest band reflect the fact that a £40 course costs the same to list, market, sell, administer and support as a £400 one, and the marketing spend behind it does not scale down. If the economics do not work for a particular course, the sensible answer is usually to list your higher-value courses instead of dropping the range.
What we are, and what we are not
Worth being blunt about this early, because it saves everyone a conversation later.
◆ We are an intermediary. We are not an accredited centre, we do not deliver training and we hold no awarding body approvals of our own. Every course we list is delivered and certificated by the accredited provider. That is the arrangement, it is stated plainly across the site, and it is what makes the relationship work.
◆ We do not resell your brand as ours. Your company is named on every listing and has its own provider page. Delegates know who is delivering their course before they pay, and they meet your trainers and your certificates on the day.
◆ We are not an exclusive arrangement. You continue to sell direct, through other agents and through your own site. Nothing about listing with us restricts what you do elsewhere.
◆ We are not a lead-generation subscription. You are not buying enquiries by the month and hoping some convert. You are paying a percentage of confirmed, paid bookings and nothing else.
How it works
Five steps from application to first delegate.
You apply
Complete the form at the foot of this page. It asks for your accreditations, the courses you run, where you run them and how you handle bookings. Ten minutes, and it’s the only paperwork before a conversation.
We vet
We verify your accreditation or approval directly with the awarding body where one applies, check insurance and trading history, and look at how you present yourselves publicly. It’s quick, but it’s thorough — our reputation with buyers depends on it.
We agree terms and rates
Commission band, advertised pricing, cancellation and transfer terms, minimum numbers, and how joining instructions reach your delegates. Written down, so nobody is working from memory in six months.
We build your listings
We create a product page per course and per location, load your dates as bookable options, and build you a provider page carrying your full range. Typical turnaround is a week from receiving your course data.
Orders arrive
The buyer pays at checkout, we capture delegate names against the date they chose, and we pass you the booking. You deliver the course and certificate it. We settle your invoice for the delegates placed.
What we can list
Every delivery format, and both accredited schemes and your own certificated courses. If it has a syllabus, a duration and a price, it can be listed.
Scheduled classroom courses
Public dates at your own centre or a hired venue, listed town by town so buyers find them geographically and pick a specific date at checkout. At over 3,100 listings this is our largest category by a wide margin, and the one where filling the last two seats matters most.
Live online, instructor-led
Virtual cohorts with fixed dates. These sell well to buyers with staff spread across sites, they reach the whole country at once, and they carry none of your venue or travel cost.
E-learning, self-paced
Sold on demand with no date to fill and no capacity ceiling. We list over 800 of these already. Once listed they run with effectively no ongoing maintenance and convert at any hour in any timezone.
Distance and blended learning
Long-form qualifications enrolled year round, including tutor-supported distance routes where the buyer is often funding a single professional through a certificate or diploma.
NVQs and vocational qualifications
Portfolio and assessment-based routes with rolling enrolment, including construction and management NVQs where the buyer is often an employer funding several candidates at once.
Group and on-site delivery
Closed courses at the client’s premises. We qualify the enquiry — headcount, location, dates, how they need to purchase — before it reaches you, so you’re quoting against a real requirement.
The schemes we place most volume against include CITB Site Safety Plus, NEBOSH, IOSH, workplace first aid and the wider construction and engineering range. That’s where the buyer demand sits, not a limit on what we’ll list — our catalogue spans eighteen subject categories from project management and accounting to teaching, languages and IT, and if you deliver something outside health and safety and there are buyers for it, tell us.
Buyers outside the UK
This is where we differ most from the UK course directories you already know. Most of them are built for a UK buyer paying in sterling, and an overseas enquiry either bounces or turns into a fortnight of emails about invoices and bank transfers. We built envicourse.com to take that order the same way it takes a Manchester one.
The store is set up for more than 200 countries and territories. A buyer in Abu Dhabi sees prices in dirhams, a buyer in Dublin sees euros, both converted at live rates, and both pay by card at checkout without a currency conversion fee or an international payment to arrange. Nothing about that reaches you: you quote in your own currency, you’re paid in your own currency, and the exchange rate movement between order and settlement is ours to carry.
Ireland, the Gulf states, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Hong Kong, India and the wider European and African markets are all served from the same catalogue. That footprint exists because the demand does: UK health and safety qualifications carry real weight with employers in the Gulf, in Ireland and across the Commonwealth, and buyers there go looking for them specifically.
For you, the practical point is that your online and distance courses can earn from markets you have never marketed to. An e-learning course, a live online cohort or a distance qualification costs you nothing extra to deliver to a buyer in Muscat rather than Middlesbrough, and international qualifications built for exactly that audience — the NEBOSH International General Certificate among them — sell well without you opening an office anywhere.
Classroom courses stay where you run them. But if you deliver anything that travels down a wire, this is reach you would otherwise be paying an agency to build.

◆ Anything we would not be comfortable putting a client on ourselves
What a listing actually looks like
Each course gets a full product page of its own, written to answer the questions a buyer asks before paying: what the course covers, who it’s for, how long it takes, what the assessment involves, what the certificate is worth and how long it lasts, what prerequisites apply, and which dates are available at which venue.
Where a course runs in many locations, each town gets its own listing rather than one page with a dropdown — because that’s how people search, and it’s how the page gets found. Alongside that you get a provider page carrying your accreditations, your delivery footprint and your full course range, so a buyer who arrives on one course can see everything else you do.
Listings also inherit the marketing that sits around them: category and location collections, our newsletter, and a set of free interactive compliance tools — needs assessments, exposure calculators and duty checkers — that pull in buyers at the point they’re still working out which course they need.
Priority listing
Featured placement within your categories, putting your courses in front of buyers before they scroll. Spaces are limited by category so the placement stays worth having. Ask about availability for the categories you care about when you apply.
Affiliate arrangements
If you run an affiliate programme, we’ll look at it. Tell us what you have in mind on the form and we’ll come back to you on whether it’s a fit.
Provider questions
What does it cost to list, and when do I pay?
Nothing to join and nothing to stay listed. Commission is deducted from the advertised course price on courses that sell, at the banded rates shown above, and there’s no charge of any kind on a course that doesn’t sell. You’re never invoiced by us for advertising — the money flows the other way, with us settling your invoice for the delegates we place.
Who sets the course price?
You do, with one condition: the price you give us must be the same price you sell that course for yourself. Commission comes out of that figure, so you know your net return on every course before it lists.
Parity protects you as much as it protects us. A buyer who finds your course here at one price and on your own site at another doesn’t conclude that you’re cheaper — they conclude the listing can’t be trusted, and they stop trusting the other listings too. We hold every provider to the same rule for that reason.
Prices are held exclusive of VAT and VAT is applied at checkout. Card processing fees and currency conversion costs are ours, not yours — they aren’t deducted from your share.
How does selling in other currencies affect what I get paid?
It doesn’t. You set a price in your own currency and that’s what your commission is calculated against. What the buyer sees is that figure converted at a live exchange rate so they can pay on a card in their own currency without a conversion fee, which is the difference between a serious international enquiry and a bounce. The exchange rate risk sits with us.
Am I tied in, or can I withdraw?
There’s no minimum term and no exclusivity. You can withdraw a course, a location or your whole listing whenever you like — the only thing we ask is that you honour bookings already taken and give us enough notice to stop selling dates you no longer want to run.
Will this compete with my own website?
Rarely, in practice, and it’s worth explaining why. Buyers who already know your company search for you by name and go direct. The traffic we bring searches by course and town — a course name followed by a place name — and lands on comparison pages where several providers appear. Those are buyers deciding between options, not buyers you had already won.
Where there’s genuine overlap it tends to be on your own brand terms, and we don’t bid on or optimise for provider names for exactly that reason.
How do I keep course dates up to date?
Send them to us. Most providers send a spreadsheet covering the next six months of dates and prices, and we update the listings from it. If you can produce an export from your booking system, better still. We can’t pull them off your website automatically: the moment a date changes there and not here, a buyer pays for a session that has already moved.
What stops a buyer booking a course that’s already full?
We confirm every booking with you before joining instructions go out, so nothing reaches a delegate until you’ve said the place exists.
Beyond that, it’s on you to keep us current. We can’t see your own direct bookings, so if a date fills up elsewhere, gets cancelled or moves, tell us and we’ll pull or amend it the same day. A date we haven’t been told about is a date we’re still selling.
Who handles the delegate, and whose certificate do they get?
We take the order and the payment, capture delegate names against the date chosen, handle purchase orders and invoicing where the buyer needs them, and pass you the booking.
Joining instructions vary by format. For most classroom and live online courses we issue them ourselves, using the details and documents you supply — so we need your venue information, timings, prerequisites and any pre-course material kept up to date. For e-learning, distance learning and anything with its own platform or enrolment process, you deal with the delegate directly and we hand over as soon as the order is confirmed.
Either way the training is yours: your trainer, your venue, your assessment, your certificate through your awarding body. We don’t sit between you and the learner on the day.
What happens if a course is cancelled?
We apply your published cancellation and transfer terms, which is why we ask for them in writing before you list. If you cancel a course, we handle the conversation with the buyer, offer alternative dates from your schedule where possible and process any refund. Doing that well is a large part of what buyers pay us for — but it depends entirely on getting notice from you rather than finding out from the delegate.
Do I need to be an accredited centre?
For accredited schemes, yes — and we verify it with the awarding body rather than taking your word for it. For non-accredited certificated training, no, but the listing will say plainly that it’s not accredited, and we’ll want to see who is delivering it and what their competence is based on.
We don’t list courses that imply an accreditation they don’t hold. It’s the single fastest way to lose a buyer’s trust and we’re not prepared to risk ours on it.
How long does it take to go live?
Vetting usually takes a couple of days. Once terms are agreed and we have your course data, a typical build is around a week for a small range and longer for a large catalogue. Search visibility builds after that — expect movement within weeks and meaningful volume over a few months, not overnight.
Can I list outside the UK?
Yes, and it’s one of the things we do that most UK course directories don’t. The store handles more than 200 countries and territories with local currency pricing and card payment at checkout, so an overseas buyer completes an order rather than starting a conversation about international bank transfers.
Your online, e-learning and distance courses reach all of it at no extra cost to you. Classroom courses are listed wherever you physically run them, whether that’s Leeds or Dubai. Providers based outside the UK are welcome to apply on the same terms.
Be realistic about the mix: the majority of our volume is still UK buyers, and the international share is strongest in Ireland, the Gulf states and among buyers seeking UK-recognised qualifications abroad. It’s a meaningful addition to a UK catalogue rather than a replacement for one.
Is there a minimum number of courses I have to list?
No. Some providers list a single specialism, others list a full catalogue across dozens of towns. Both work. Breadth helps — more listings mean more entry points and more chances to be the provider whose date happens to suit — but a narrow, well-run range in a strong location outperforms a broad one that’s never updated.
Why should I trust a company I haven’t heard of?
Envico Limited has traded since January 2003 and is ISO 9001 registered under certificate number 13841. We’re a small, independently owned business rather than a venture-funded platform, which means we’re still here and still doing the same thing after twenty-three years. There’s more on the about us page, and you’re welcome to ask for provider references when you speak to us.
Start filling the seats you’re already paying for
The trainer, the venue and the date are booked whether the course runs at four delegates or ten. Listing costs nothing until it sells.
Envico Limited is an independent training intermediary established in January 2003, registered in England and Wales, ISO 9001 registered under certificate number 13841. We arrange training with accredited providers on behalf of our clients; we do not deliver or accredit courses ourselves. Listing is subject to vetting and to written terms agreed between Envico Limited and the provider. Commission rates shown apply to new providers and are subject to the terms of that agreement. All figures stated exclude VAT.
