Academy · Cohort 01

Reserve a place in the founding cohort

A $95 deposit holds your seat in Cohort 01 and comes off your course fee. It is fully refundable within 14 days, and refunded automatically if the cohort has not begun within twelve months.

Be clear about what this is

The paid tiers are not built yet. The free Foundation is live and complete — eight lessons you can read right now. The Certificate and the Professional Diploma are designed, syllabused and costed, but not written.

So this deposit is not a purchase of a course. It reserves a place in the first cohort and tells us the thing we most need to know: how many people want this enough to put money behind it, and which tier they are aiming for. That answer decides what gets built first, and in what order.

If you would rather wait and see, that is entirely reasonable — leave your email on the syllabus page instead and pay nothing.

What you are promised, in plain terms

  • The deposit comes off your fee. $95 off the Certificate or the Diploma, whichever you enrol in.
  • Founding cohort pricing. Whatever Cohort 01 is priced at when it opens, you pay no more than that.
  • Refundable within 14 days. Ask, and it comes back in full. No reason needed.
  • Refunded automatically after twelve months. If your cohort has not begun within twelve months of your payment, we return the deposit without you having to chase it.
  • No obligation to enrol. Reserving a place is not signing up for a course.

What you are not promised

  • A start date. Cohort 01 does not have one yet. When it does, you will be told before anyone else.
  • An accredited qualification. The Diploma is a professional development credential with an examiner and an oral viva. It is not a degree and it is not accredited by a national awarding body. We say so everywhere, including on the certificate itself.
  • That the course will definitely run. If it does not, you get your money back. That is the whole of the guarantee, and it is why the refund terms are written the way they are.

Payment is handled by Stripe. Sold on the web only — the Aurix app does not carry the Academy.

Before you decide

Read the free Foundation first

Eight complete lessons, free and open, no sign-in. If the writing there is not worth your time, the paid tiers will not be either — and you will have lost nothing finding that out.
