Payment
Secure your seat with a 50% deposit. The balance is due halfway through the course — the exact week is on every course page (week 2 of a 4-week course, week 3 of a 6-week course, week 5 of CCNA and Project Management). Your seat, your live sessions, your assignment feedback and your cohort group are yours from the day you pay the deposit.
Your certificate, transcript and LinkedIn badge are issued once your fees are paid in full. If you need more time, that's fine — tell us. Your documents are held, not cancelled, and we release them the day the balance clears.
Paying in full at registration? You also receive lifetime access to all session recordings.
Our promise
Attend at least 75% of the live sessions (a recording plus a catch-up task counts), submit at least 75% of the assignments and complete the final project. If you finish and your portfolio isn't complete, you join the next cohort free.
Refunds and transfers
Full refund up to 7 days before the start date, no questions asked. After Session 1, no refund — but you may transfer your seat once to any future cohort, or to a colleague, at no charge.
If we postpone a cohort because it did not reach its minimum, you choose: a full refund within 5 working days, or a transfer to the next cohort with a free upgrade to the Professional tier.
Organisation seats are invoiced and refundable in full up to 7 days before the start date; unused seats transfer to your next intake.
Founding cohort
The founding price is for the founding cohort only — the first-ever run of each course, capped at 20 seats. In return, founding students give a written testimonial and take part in a short case study, and keep lifetime access to every future run of that course.
Prices rise with cohort 2 and again from cohort 4. Anyone who paid a lower price never pays more.
