Think we’re great… tell a mate

Refer a friend to a programme at an MPCT Military Academy and earn yourself £50*

MPCT’s refer-a-friend scheme is open! Simply tell your friends to enrol online and pass on your name to secure some much needed £££.

The scheme allows you to be rewarded for introducing your friends to any of our MPCT academies. For each successful new enrolment, you will receive a payment of £50; there is no limit on the number of friends you can refer.

  • There is no limit – refer 4 friends and earn £200, refer 10 friends and earn £500!
  • Open to current MPCT learners only

The scheme is designed to encourage you to spread the word so that other young people who may be suited to our course can benefit from what MPCT has to offer in the same way you have. If you think any of your friends may also fit the bill, then why not speak to them today?

*Terms and conditions: To ensure that new learners are suitable candidates for life at MPCT, to receive your second payment, they will need to attend MPCT for a minimum of 6 weeks with at least an 80% attendance record. There is no limit to the number of friends you may refer, and information on your payments will be issued via your MPCT email address. The individuals referred will need to provide the name of the person who referred them when speaking to our Learner Support Team on 0303 003 3677, or self-enrolling via our website. Open to current MPCT learners only.
