FAQ

Cohorts & access

How often do cohorts start?
We publish start windows per track — typically quarterly for intensive labs and monthly for lighter revision sprints. Exact dates appear in enrolment correspondence, not countdown widgets.
Are sessions recorded?
Most live clinics are recorded for cohort participants for a limited window (often 90 days). Some mentor reviews are audio only by design.
Can my team share a login?
Accounts are per learner unless you purchase a team desk — sharing credentials violates these terms and confuses mentor feedback threads.

Materials & data

Do you provide proprietary vendor data?
No. We work with public releases and teach you how to license additional data yourself. That keeps costs transparent and avoids hidden subscriptions.
Which software is assumed?
Tracks list spreadsheet-first or code-first paths. You choose one and stay consistent — we do not require a single vendor stack.
Limitation — what is explicitly excluded?
We do not teach market timing, trade ideas, or personalised investment advice. Macro literacy only — if you need portfolio construction, engage a licensed adviser.

Mentors & feedback

How fast is written feedback?
Mentor passes target a few business days per round — not instant messaging. Urgent employer deadlines are your planning problem, not a reason to compress rubrics.
Can mentors sign external documents?
Generally no — we comment on learning artefacts inside the cohort workspace. Employer attestations are outside scope.
What if I disagree with a comment?
Push back in writing — we prefer a threaded discussion to silent resentment. Civility and specificity help.

Billing & policies

Why are prices “informational” on the website?
Final fees may include administrative charges or team bundles confirmed in writing — we avoid fake checkout flows.
Where is the refund detail?
See the Money-Back Policy — cooling-off and partial refund rules depend on services already delivered.
