Questions

Good to know.

What people ask about plans and pricing.

What's free?

Every one-off course (a course that isn't part of a track) is free with an account, along with its practice questions and saved progress. The blog's one-minute videos and articles are free with no account at all.

When can I subscribe?

Not yet: there's no checkout, and nobody is charged today. Choose a plan above and we'll email you when subscriptions open.

What happens to tracks until then?

Every track stays open to every account until subscriptions launch, so you can start one today with a free account. Your progress is saved as you go.

What's a coaching session?

45 to 60 minutes, one to one, with a named coach, on a problem you bring: the failing pipeline, the confusing error, the next step in your project. Plus includes one session a month and Pro four. Sessions open with subscriptions.

Do you offer certificates?

We don't issue certificates. Pro includes certification guidance: your coach helps you choose an industry certification that fits your goal and plan how to prepare for it.

What can Enterprise include?

Workshops for your team, custom modules built around your stack and workforce upskilling programmes, scoped and priced case by case. Tell us what your team needs with the form above.

How does yearly work?

A year costs 10 months' price, so you get 2 months free compared with paying monthly. It's the same plan either way.
