Find your role. Find your next step.

Step 01

Start and choose

1. Create an independent Academy account with an email you can open, then verify that address. Sign in with the same account whenever you return.
2. Open My pathways. Compare the benefits, required courses and preparation hours. Suggested pathways take 3, 4 or 5 weeks in total; choose a longer custom target if your available time requires it.
3. Review the itemized quote. Foundation and free courses cost $0. Shared paid courses are charged once per person, and completed or already-owned paid courses are credited. Apply any eligible promo before confirming.

Step 02

Join a class or sponsored team

1. Open your invitation or Classes & company training. Review the named instructor or company, your role and which learning information will be shared.
2. Accept only the invitation intended for you. Class membership does not purchase course access. A company invitation also does not charge you or the company.
3. For a class, use Choose required pathways to retain the class context at checkout. For sponsored training, wait for the company billing manager to confirm the company order. A sponsored reservation never requires a personal payment.

Your unrelated learning and private messages are not part of class or company progress reporting. Leaving a group does not erase your account or earned credentials.

Step 03

Learn, receive feedback and earn

1. Complete C01–C04 before opening specialist coursework. Each course includes illustrated concepts, checkpoints and automatically graded applied labs.
2. Read whether a question allows one answer or several. Submit it, read the explanation for correct and incorrect choices, and review the material before retrying.
3. Pass all requirements in a course to earn its badge. Complete all courses in your enrolled pathway within its completion window, then an authorized instructor or owner reviewer issues the professional certificate. Modules do not issue separate badges.

Step 04

Ask for help and control sharing

1. Use your class review request for a class deadline, attribution or certificate question. A class acceptance note does not override Academy requirements.
2. Open Profile & account to manage your picture, learning background and notification choices. Class announcements and responses may email you when learning notifications are enabled.
3. Use Achievements to review and share your issued credential. LinkedIn remains your choice: inspect the populated information before saving or posting. For account or billing issues, use Academy support.
