Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, ask us directly.
01
Getting started
No. Foundation level assumes no prior experience, and the placement assessment will tell you where to start.
One area of work. Each field holds the pathways, courses and projects that lead into it.
A complete route to a professional outcome. It includes the courses, live sessions, practical assignments, projects, a capstone, career readiness and a credential.
A short assessment you take before paying. It confirms the pathway that suits you and sets your entry level.
Compare the career outcomes on each pathway page, or talk to an advisor. We would rather you started on the right one.
02
Learning
Both. You work through lessons on your own schedule and join scheduled live sessions with instructors.
They are strongly recommended. Recordings are available, but the live sessions are where you get taught directly and get your questions answered.
You can follow lessons on a phone, but you will need a laptop for practical work, assignments and projects.
Contact support. There is a defined route back, and getting in touch early is always easier than catching up silently.
03
Payment and enrolment
Everything in the pathway: all courses, live sessions, assignments, projects, capstone, assessment, career readiness and your certificate.
Yes. Individual courses are available. Only a full pathway leads to a Professional Certificate.
On Schull.io. You create your account there, pay for your pathway, and your access opens automatically once payment is confirmed.
Contact learner support with your payment reference. We will verify it and correct your enrolment.
04
Assessment and certification
Through knowledge checks, practical assignments, projects, a final assessment and a capstone.
You need to meet the overall pass mark and pass the capstone separately.
You get feedback and a chance to resubmit. A failed capstone does not become a certificate.
It is a Schull Academy Professional Certificate, issued on assessed competence and independently verifiable. What makes it carry weight in an interview is the portfolio and capstone behind it.
Every certificate carries a unique ID and a QR code that links to our verification page.
Academic integrity is a condition of certification. Our policy sets out the process and the consequences.
05
After the pathway
We do not promise jobs. We give you assessed skill, a portfolio, a verified credential and a career readiness track covering CV, LinkedIn, interviews and career strategy.
Move into an advanced pathway, enter another Career Field, join the alumni community and employer opportunities, or come back as a mentor.
