FAQ
Before you enroll
No. Every MBA course starts from a computer-literate baseline: if you can use a laptop, browse the web, and follow step-by-step instructions, you are ready. Any course-specific prerequisites are listed on this page.
After enrollment you get login details for the MBA student portal, where lessons, practice files, and your progress live. Access instructions arrive by email right after checkout.
Courses with a certificate issue it after you complete the lessons and the final output. It includes your name, the course, completion date, and a certificate ID.
Every course includes support: ask questions through the portal or the support form and a mentor will respond. You are never learning alone.
