Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None needed. The course starts from the beginning and suits school leavers, career shifters, managers and business owners alike.

How long does the course take?

Around 120 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material after you finish.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 a week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay in four with Afterpay and upfront.

How are assessments done?

Short answer and multiple choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. There are no timed exams, and you can retake them as many times as you need.

What will I walk away with?

A clearer read on where things are heading, and a plan for your own next steps. You look at your values, goals and strengths, how culture shifts, and the trends showing up in technology, society and the environment.

Can it count towards further study?

Yes, if you want it to. Once enrolled, you have the option to upgrade your micro-credential to earn formal higher education credit through university partners. The upgrade involves extra costs and assessments.

Is this course accredited?

It is fully CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with 39 CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and you do not need one to build these skills or use them at work.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
