Credit Card Security

We operate a secure process for the collection and transmission of your credit card information.

Protecting your personal information

When you order courses from our web site, you need to provide us with your credit-card details.

Your credit card information is protected by encryption, so it cannot be read as it is transmitted over the Internet.

The encrypted data is transmitted using a secure socket layer (SSL) connection (a Netscape browser standard, adopted by Microsoft for their Internet Explorer and also adopted by other browser manufacturers).

How to tell if a server is secure

Look for one or more of these "secure connection" indicators on your browser:

• A security alert window tells you that you are about to use a secure connection.  Some browsers let you choose whether to display this window.

• An SSL icon shows when you're in a secure connection:

• A symbol of an open padlock changes to a closed padlock when you're in a secure connection.

• A symbol of a "broken key" icon is replaced by an unbroken key.

• The web site's address changes to one that begins with "https" (check for the "s").

Credit card details

Your credit card details are temporarily stored on a secure server until your order is completed and your payment is confirmed.  After your order is complete, these details are deleted from the site.
