The ones that decide it.
Answered with the uncomfortable half first, because you will find it out anyway and it is cheaper for both of us if you find it out now.
Is the certificate worth anything?
Not in the way an accredited qualification is. Here is exactly what it is.
It is not accredited, not regulated, not credit-bearing, and not issued by an awarding body. If you need letters after your name or a licence to practise, this is not that and will not become that.
What it is: a dated record of counted work — the lessons completed, the checks answered, the gates claimed — frozen at the moment of issue and verifiable by anyone you give the reference to. It is worth what the evidence behind it is worth, which is the same basis on which anybody sensible judges a portfolio. The exercises produce real deliverables on a real subject, and those are usually the more persuasive artefact.
Can I just click through the gates?
Yes. That is a known property of the design, not an oversight in it.
Most gates are self-attested. Nobody marks your work and nobody is watching. You could tick every box on a programme in an afternoon and issue yourself a certificate that counts them.
The defence is not enforcement, it is phrasing. A gate reads “you have three complete days of interruption log, every entry timed, sourced, classified and costed” — not “you understand time management”. To claim it falsely you have to look at a specific, checkable sentence about a thing you did not do and press the button anyway. The platform cannot stop you. It can make sure you know precisely what you are lying about, and it declines to hand you a scoreboard that rewards you for it.
Can my employer see how I did?
No. Not as a setting you can turn on — there is no such view to turn on.
Your answers, drafts, notes, evidence, gate claims and scores are yours. There is no manager dashboard, no reporting export, and no comparison of one learner against another anywhere in the product.
If an organisation pays for your place it is told the place was bought and used, and nothing more. That holds regardless of who paid. The organisations page explains why that is a feature rather than an omission, and the privacy notice puts it in writing.
How long does a programme take?
Between 24 and 43 lessons, but the lessons are not what sets the pace.
Each programme page carries its own estimate, and they range from about a week to about a year. Treat those as honest guesses rather than promises: the reading is the fast part, and the exercises run against a real organisation you have access to, which moves at the speed that organisation moves.
There is no cohort, no timetable and no expiry. Access does not run out while you are being slow.
What if I buy it and it is not for me?
Read Level 0 first — it is free, and it is the real level rather than a trailer.
If you have paid anyway and changed your mind, there is a full refund within 14 days provided you have not completed more than the first paid level. If the platform failed you or a programme was not what its page said, ask regardless of when you noticed. The terms set this out.
Do I need to buy the whole platform?
No. There is no subscription, and there is not going to be one.
Access is bought per programme, once, for the programme you are actually going to do. Buying one grants nothing on another. A subscription would make the platform’s incentive your continued presence rather than your finishing the work and leaving with something.
Anything not answered here is answered by Level 0.
It is free, it needs no account, and it is the same material as every level above it.
