Frequently asked questions
Do I need prior experience?
Beginner courses assume no prior experience. Each course lists its requirements on the course page.
What is the difference between live and recorded courses?
Recorded courses are streamed lessons you take at your own pace. Live courses are scheduled sessions with an instructor; enrolled students receive reminders and, where enabled, recordings. Hybrid courses combine both.
How do I join a live class?
Enroll in the course, then open My Lab → Live Classes. The classroom opens 15 minutes before the start time. You can join in the browser or with the Zoom app.
Are live classes recorded?
Some sessions are recorded for enrolled students. You will always see a recording notice before you join a recorded session.
How do payments work?
Paid courses use a secure checkout. Access unlocks only after the payment is verified by our server. You can view every payment in My Lab → Payments.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within the window described in the Refund Policy. Request it from My Lab → Payments.
How do certificates work?
When you complete a course's required lessons, quizzes and assignments, a certificate is issued automatically with a unique verification ID that anyone can check on the Verify page.
Can I watch on my phone?
Yes. The academy works on phones, tablets and computers; your progress syncs automatically.
