The ones that decide it.

Can I buy a programme now?

No. Nothing is on sale yet, and there is no price anywhere on the site because none has been set.

The people in early access are the ones who will tell us what each programme is worth. Until they have, there is nothing to buy, and every page here says so rather than taking an order it cannot honour. Level 0 of every programme is open in the meantime, and it is the real level rather than a trailer.

How do I get early access, and will I get it?

There are two ways in. Not every request gets a place, and everyone who asks hears back.

Ask from the early-access page, saying in a sentence what you want to be able to do. Or, if someone has sent you a code, sign in and use it on the code page. A place is free. It is given in exchange for working through a programme and telling us, on the page, what does not hold.

Places are limited by how many people we can follow up properly across twelve programmes, so not every request is granted. Whatever the answer, you get it by email at the address you asked from.

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 what you did, the lessons completed, the checks answered and the gates claimed, frozen at the moment of issue and verifiable by anyone you give the reference to. It does not reward finishing for its own sake: reading every lesson and claiming no gates produces a record that says exactly that. 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.

When places go on sale and an organisation pays for yours, it will be 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 states its own length and weekly hours, on its card in the catalogue and at the top of its page. They run from about eight weeks to about a year. Treat those as honest estimates 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.

When programmes go on sale, what if I buy one and it is not for me?

Read Level 0 first. It is free, and it is the real level rather than a trailer.

Nothing is sold during early access, so there is nothing to refund yet. When programmes go on sale, the plan is a full refund within 14 days, provided you have not completed more than the first paid level, and a refund at any time if the platform failed you or a programme was not what its page said. The terms will set this out before anything is sold.

Will I need to buy the whole platform?

No. There will be no subscription.

When programmes go on sale, each will be bought once, for the programme you are actually going to do. Buying one will grant nothing on another. A subscription would make the platform’s incentive your continued presence rather than your finishing the work and leaving with something.
