The HTFT Pass Guarantee

Although HTFT consistently achieves pass rates that exceed the national average, it would be misleading to suggest that every student passes first time, exams are challenging, and setbacks happen. That’s precisely why we offer our HTFT Pass Guarantee. Any student who books a live or on-demand course is eligible for the Pass Guarantee.

If a student meets the guarantee conditions but does not pass the exam in the agreed exam window, they can rejoin the full course for either of the next two available exam windows. The choice of which window to join is made by the student, with guidance from HTFT.

To maintain your Pass Guarantee with HTFT you must have complied with the following criteria.
