Common questions
Do I need experience?
Most programs are beginner-friendly and start from the basics. Data Analytics and No-Code Development assume you're comfortable learning new software. Each program page says which kind it is.
How long does a program take?
Programs are built as 6 or 8 weeks of material, but there are no deadlines. You set the pace, so how long it takes depends on how much time you give it.
Are there live classes?
No. Lessons are on-demand and available as soon as you enrol. There are no start dates or scheduled sessions, so you can start today and fit lessons around your life.
Can I get a refund?
Our refund policy is published on the Refunds page. Read it before you pay.
Do you guarantee a job or income?
No. We teach skills, give you practice work to build, and include a Remote Career Playbook in every program that shows how remote hiring, applications and interviews work. We can't promise jobs, clients or income, and you should be cautious of any training provider that does.
