Questions

Before you enrol

Do I need any special equipment?

No. Each course lists a short “what you’ll need” section up front — most use equipment already in a home or professional kitchen.

Is this live or self-paced?

Self-paced. You get lifetime access the moment you enrol, so you can start immediately and re-watch any section as often as you like.

What if I’m a complete beginner?

Courses are labelled by level. Beginner courses assume no prior experience and start from first principles.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Every course includes a certificate on completion, which you can download and share.

What’s your refund policy?

If a course isn’t right for you, contact us within the guarantee period for a full refund.
