Are there any other payment plans?

We exclusively offer an annual subscription which offers enhanced benefits to maximise your learning experience.

Can I purchase individual courses?

No, individual courses are not available for purchase.

Are all courses and webinars free? 

While the majority of the resources are included in the annual subscription fee, some webinars and longer courses may require payment. However, if any courses require payment, members of the academy can access these at a discounted rate. The reason for the cost is due to the investment required to produce these materials and adequately compensate the speakers and team involved.

Why can’t I buy individual courses?

The academy does not offer individual course purchases because we believe in providing a more comprehensive and effective learning experience through our annual academy membership. Each course is designed to be interconnected and complement one another, leading to a more holistic understanding of the subject matter. Purchasing individual courses could result in a fragmented learning experience and may not provide the best value for your investment.

What is the annual Academy membership, and why is it recommended?

The annual Academy membership is the most cost-effective option we offer. It provides access to all courses and webinars within the Academy, allowing you to explore a wide range of topics and make meaningful connections between them. We believe that the most effective learning happens when you can see the interrelationships between different subjects. By offering an annual membership, we aim to encourage a more comprehensive and integrated learning experience for our members.

Can I purchase a membership for a shorter duration, such as monthly or quarterly?

Currently, we only offer an annual academy membership as it aligns with our educational philosophy of promoting comprehensive learning through interconnected courses. We do not offer shorter-duration memberships to ensure our members have ample time to explore and benefit from the full range of courses available.

What if I only need one specific course and not the entire academy membership?

We understand that you may have specific learning needs, but we highly recommend considering the annual academy membership. By doing so, you not only gain access to the course you need but also have the opportunity to explore related courses that can enrich your knowledge and provide a more well-rounded education.

Where can I learn more about the courses available in the academy?

You can find detailed information about our courses, including course descriptions, outlines, and prerequisites, on the courses tab on the website. If you have specific questions about a course or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.
