For families

Questions families ask

Straight answers about cost, time, and how we protect your student’s information.

Still wondering?

We add answers here as families ask. You can also bring any question to orientation.

Does this cost anything?

The fellowship is free. Many credentials are free too. Some exams charge a fee, and we share voucher, discount, and financial aid options whenever they exist.

How much time does it take?

Modules are self-paced, and each one ends with a portfolio project. Live sessions are about one hour.

Are there age rules?

Yes, for some exams. ISC2, for example, requires candidates to be at least 16, with extra steps for 16 and 17 year olds. We check each credential’s rules before recommending it.

What information do you collect?

Only what we need to run the fellowship and track progress. Student information is never shared with employers without family permission.
