Frequently Asked Questions

What is the refund policy?
+

Refunds are available within the first 7 days of a batch starting, before live sessions or dataset access begin. Email us and we'll process it within 5 to 7 business days.

Is the certificate recognized by companies?
+

It's a completion certificate, not an accredited degree or formal placement guarantee. It documents the track and project you completed; most interviewers care more about the project itself than the certificate.

Can I do this alongside college or semester exams?
+

Yes, the Self-Paced and Live Mentor tracks are designed around 4 to 6 hours a week, so most students manage this alongside a regular semester.

Who are the mentors, exactly?
+

Mentors are working engineers we've personally vetted. Once you've enrolled, we share full names, LinkedIn profiles, and current employers with you, so you can verify their background yourself.
