Frequently asked questions

What kind of income can this lead to?+

This is the highest-earning-potential track in our catalog. Automation freelancers in this space typically bill $20-100/hr per project once they have a portfolio and a client or two.

Do I need to know how to code?+

No traditional coding required — n8n and Make are visual, node-based tools. You will write some prompts and light data-transformation logic, which we teach from scratch.

Are sessions live or recorded?+

Both. We run two live sessions per week on weekday evenings (Nigerian time). Every session is recorded and stays accessible for 12 months after your cohort ends.

Will I receive a certificate?+

Yes. A verifiable Oak Forge Academy certificate is emailed to you when you complete all lessons and submit the capstone automation project.

How does payment work?+

This course is full payment upfront at ₦180,000 via Paystack. Because the course fee is below the school's monthly-plan minimum (₦300,000), installment billing is not available. Your seat is confirmed the moment payment clears.

Is there a refund policy?+

If you attend fewer than two live sessions and decide the course is not for you, we will issue a full refund within 7 days of your purchase date. No questions asked.
