Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding skills for the AI courses?

No. The AI Finance courses use plain-language prompts and fictitious practice data. You learn how to inspect, test and improve what the AI builds. Check the relevant course page for the recommended AI plan and the accounting knowledge useful for its examples.

What do I receive besides the video lessons?

Depending on the course, you receive course notes or a full text course ranging between 10K - 43K words (in an editable format), prompts, templates, tool versions, practice data, red-flag references, checklists, slides and other practical resources. The Access Premium Materials section on each course page shows the exact inclusions. Your course downloads are yours to keep and use at work.

Do the courses offer CPE/CPD credits and a certificate?

Where offered, the course page states the estimated CPE/CPD credits and explains the learning format on which the estimate is based. Confirm acceptance and credit treatment with your professional or licensing body. A Certificate of Completion is available after you meet the course's lesson and assessment requirements; those requirements are explained on its page.

How long do I have access, and are updates included?

You have lifetime access to the course you purchase, and updates to that course's lessons and materials are included at no extra cost. You can also keep your downloaded resources for later reference.

How does the 14-day money-back guarantee apply?

Full refund within 14 days of purchase if the course isn't what you need, provided you have not completed a substantial portion of the video lessons or downloaded the course materials. In clear "download-and-refund" abuse cases we refund only the unused portion.

How is VAT handled, and can my company buy multiple seats?

EU consumers pay VAT, calculated at checkout. EU businesses with a valid VAT ID enter it at checkout for reverse-charge invoicing. Buyers outside the EU pay the listed price.
