The open academy
Learn on your own. Get examined like everyone else.
Everything our cohorts watch, for ₦5,000 a month. Then, when you are ready, pay to have your work marked by the same instructors against the same rubric — and earn the same certificate.
Watching is cheap because video costs us almost nothing. Being examined is not, because it takes four hours of a person. We price them separately and tell you why.
STEP ONE — WATCHING
₦5,000a month
Or ₦50,000 for the year. Stop whenever you like.
- Every recorded lesson from every completed cohort
- The datasets, briefs and worksheets they use
- Every free masterclass, live
- The learner community
- No marking, no certificate, no cohort seat
STEP TWO — BEING EXAMINED
₦45,000per programme
Paid once, when you are ready. Not before.
- Four assignments, marked by a person with comments
- Your portfolio reviewed against the same rubric
- A twenty-minute viva — you defend your own work
- The certificate, at 70%, stating it was assessed self-paced
Six months of watching plus one assessment is ₦75,000 — against ₦225,000 for the same certificate earned in a live cohort.
So which one should you take?
The content is identical. What differs is the chance you ever get to the end of it — and we would rather show you that than argue about it.
Both of our figures are blank until the first cohorts finish. They will be published whatever they say, because a number that only ever looks good is advertising.
The rules, stated plainly
One programme open at a time
Finish 70% of it and the next unlocks. Not a quota — the same thing we tell cohort learners, which is that starting four things is how people finish none.
Thirty days before your first unlock
A month of membership before the first programme opens. It exists to stop people joining, taking everything in a weekend and leaving — and we would rather say that than pretend it is for your benefit.
No seat in a live cohort, at any price
Those are capped at twenty and they are what the course fee pays for. Membership gets you 10% off one if you want to move across.
Assessment runs monthly, not on demand
Submit by the last Friday and your work is marked within three weeks. Batching is what keeps it four honest hours of a real instructor rather than a queue.
