What happens after you sign up

Every learning platform promises access. This is the mechanism underneath: what unlocks when, who marks your work, and what the certificate is actually worth.

Five states, one path at a time

A course page: the video player, the course at 65 per cent complete, the chapter list with two chapters done, and the instructor card.
One path, mid-way through The chapter list on the right is the whole idea: what is done, what is open, and what is still locked.

The five states of a path

No step is skippable and none of them is automatic. That is the difference between a path and a video library.

  1. 01 Choose

    One path, not a catalogue

    You pick a path, not thirty loose courses. The order is the product: each course assumes the one before it, so nothing is explained twice and nothing is missing.

  2. 02 Study

    Locked in order, resumable anywhere

    A course unlocks when the previous one is done. Progress is stored per chapter and syncs between the web and the mobile app, so a session on a phone picks up exactly where a laptop stopped.

  3. 03 Submit

    A real piece of work, not a quiz

    Each path ends in something you made: a design case, a repository, a campaign analysis, a notebook. You can read the marking rubric before you start, and it does not change afterwards.

  4. 04 Assessed

    Marked by a person, against that rubric

    A practising instructor, never the one who taught you, scores each criterion and writes back. Median turnaround is four days. Roughly one in six submissions does not pass first time, and you can resubmit twice.

  5. 05 Certified

    A certificate that can be checked

    The certificate carries an identifier. Send it to us and we confirm the path, the date, the criteria assessed and the score band. The rubric it was marked against is published in full, so there is nothing to take on trust.

The platform in numbers

Four things that hold after you have paid

Each one is a commitment with a number attached, not a feature bullet.

The learner dashboard: paths in progress with their chapter position, hours studied, and the next chapter to resume.

  • Progress you can see per chapter

    Not a percentage on a dashboard. Every course row shows where you stopped, and the amber-to-teal bar tells you at a glance what is in progress and what is finished.

    Synced across web, iOS and Android

  • Instructor threads on the lesson itself

    Questions go into a thread attached to the lesson, not into a generic support inbox. The person who recorded it answers. We publish median reply time per path and retire paths that drift past four days.

    Median first reply: 6 hours

  • Offline for the commute

    The mobile app downloads a chapter, videos and written material included. Progress reconciles the moment you are back on a network, so an offline session is not a lost one.

    Chapter-level downloads

  • Lifetime access, updates included

    A path you buy stays yours. Come back two years later and it opens on the chapter you stopped at, with the lessons that were re-recorded since. No purchase has expired since 2019.

    No expiry on any purchase

What this is not

A certificate here records an assessment against a published rubric. It is not a state-issued diploma and it carries no academic credit. We print that on the certificate itself.

The four hundred partner companies treat it as a screening signal, which is the honest description of what it is worth.

The first course of every path is free

No card, no trial clock. Two to four hours of the real material, which is the only honest way to judge an instructor.
