Question 1

Are the tutorials free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every tutorial on the Academy is free and unlisted on YouTube. We link them alongside the matching DIY kit so you can follow along at your own pace.

Question 2

When do the paid courses launch?

Accepted Answer

Coptic Mastery opens in the third quarter of this year. The other two courses follow in the fourth quarter and early next year. Join a waitlist to be the first to know.

Question 3

Do courses come with materials?

Accepted Answer

The paid courses are video-only. We ship the matching supplies separately from the shop. Enrolled students get a 15% discount code for the whole range.

Question 4

Will there be a certificate?

Accepted Answer

Each paid course issues a PDF completion certificate once all lessons are watched and the final project is submitted. It is a nice thing to have, not a formal accreditation.

Question 5

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Yes — within seven days of enrolment, provided you have watched less than 20% of the course.
