I raised my prices in week two, and the course paid for itself within a month. Sam does not let a neat spreadsheet hide a guess from you.

It changed how I prepare for any conversation about money. I walked into my salary review with a number, and I walked out with it.

Short lessons, real homework and a project that somebody reads and answers. I have not found that on any other course I have paid for.

I used what I built in module three in a real investor meeting last spring. Nobody found a hole in it, and I knew where the holes would have been, because the course had made me dig every one of them myself first. We closed the round in June, and two of the investors asked which consultancy had built our model. I had built it myself, at my kitchen table.

Useful, but it assumes a software business. I run a bakery, so I translated half of the examples into flour, rent and staff hours.

A lot of theory for a course sold as practical. The second half is better than the first, and it is where the exercises and the project start.

Enrolling
What people ask before they enroll
A person answers anything this list does not. Ask us.
No. The first module starts from nothing, and the tutor in each lesson answers the questions a first-timer asks, however basic they feel. What you need is 2 hours a week and a browser.
Nothing expires. 2 weeks at 2 hours a week is the pace the course was planned at, and at an hour a week it takes 4 weeks. The panel above works out a finish date for whatever pace you give it.
This one is self-paced only: at 2 weeks it would be over before a cohort found its rhythm. The discussion under each lesson is where the other learners are, and the instructor reads it.
The project itself, reviewed, and a line on your record that links to it. A guided project carries no certificate, because the finished work, with the review attached, is the thing you show an employer.
Yes. The course, the tutor and the project review cost nothing now and nothing later, and nobody asks you for a card at any point.
No. A free course is free on every plan, tutor and project review included, and Waypoint Plus adds nothing to it.
Watch lesson one tonight. Decide in the morning.
It opens with the tutor beside it and the practice set under it. The other 5 lessons cost nothing either, and nobody asks for a card.
No card, now or later.
