happy blogs

At Happy, we have endeavoured to keep our course prices competitive, with our last price change in 2019 and previously no change for over 10 years. Unfortunately, over time we have been increasingly incurring costs that we can no longer absorb. This has meant an increase in our pricing for both private and public courses. We have also changed the price bands. If you book before the end of the year, you will still get our current prices, so this is the perfect time to book your training for the year ahead.

We have been reviewing our IT course content and pricing over the last few months. Due to rising costs, we have to increase our course pricing from 1st January 2023. All courses booked before the price change for 2023 will be booked at the current rate.
