Is the academy accredited?

How do online course access and payments work?
Create an account, pay using the instructions the academy gives you, then upload your proof of payment. Uploading proof doesn't unlock anything on its own: an academy admin reviews it first. Once approved, your course appears in your student portal.
What if my proof of payment is rejected?
Your portal will show 'Payment requires attention' with a note explaining why. You can upload a new proof from the same course. Nothing you submitted is deleted.
