Why We've Chosen to Partner with Klarna

Making Professional Development More Accessible and Financially Flexible

At Deaf & Hearing Trailblazers, we believe personal & professional development should be accessible, practical, and realistic — especially in today’s financial climate.


That’s why we’ve chosen to partner with Klarna to offer flexible payment options across our training programmes.


Removing Financial Barriers to Growth

We know that many of the people who attend our courses are:

  • Self-funding their development
  • Freelancers or business owners
  • Working in voluntary or community roles
  • Building new careers
  • Investing in leadership growth


Paying upfront for training can sometimes feel like a barrier — even when the course is exactly what you need.


By offering Klarna, we’re giving you the option to spread the cost into manageable instalments. That means you can focus on learning, not financial pressure.


Investing in Development Should Be Possible

We often talk about inclusion, opportunity, and progression. It would be inconsistent if our own payment structures made access harder.


Professional development shouldn’t be limited to those who can afford a single upfront payment. Flexible options create:

  • Greater access
  • Fairer opportunity
  • Reduced financial stress
  • More confidence in committing to growth


This aligns directly with our values around equity and practical inclusion.


Supporting Deaf and Disabled Professionals

We are particularly aware that Deaf and disabled professionals can face additional financial pressures — including inconsistent employment patterns, Access to Work delays, or self-employment realities.


Offering instalment payments is one small but meaningful step towards removing unnecessary barriers.


Responsible, Transparent Choice

We chose Klarna because it is a well-established and secure payment provider. Participants can see clear payment schedules at checkout and choose the option that works best for them.


Importantly, using Klarna is optional. If you prefer to pay in full, you still can.


A Simple Principle

Our decision comes down to this:

If someone is ready to learn, grow, and step forward, cost structure should not be the reason they step back.


Partnering with Klarna allows us to support ambition while remaining practical about the realities people face.


If you have any questions about payment options, feel free to contact us — we’re always happy to help.
