Louise Osborn asked:

I need to purchase 12 licenses of this course and can only add 10 to basket. And can my organisation be invoiced for this rather than use credit card?

Answer:

As far as I am aware Reed only allow payment upfront. You may need to split the order and place 2 orders if you can only order a maximum of 10 via this site. Sorry, I couldn't be more help. Dave Gogna - Learning247
