Frequently asked questions
Do I need any technical or coding background?+
No. This course is built specifically for non-technical learners — marketers, operations staff, finance people, and small business owners. If you can use a smartphone, you can take this course.
What tools will I need?+
A laptop or desktop with internet access, and a free ChatGPT (or similar) account. We walk through setup in Module 1.
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 project.
How does payment work?+
This course is full payment upfront at ₦35,000 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.
