Frequently asked questions

  • How long will I have access to the course?

    90 days from the moment of payment. During that time you can rewatch the lessons as many times as you like — the materials stay available in your account.

  • What device can I watch on?

    Any of them: desktop, laptop, tablet, phone. The lessons play in the browser with no apps to install. On mobile it’s handier to keep the device on a stand while you practise.

  • I’m just starting out — is this for me?

    Every course begins with the fundamentals and builds up gradually. If something isn’t clear, you send a photo of your practice work and the instructor replies in the chat with guidance. Progress at your own pace.

  • Will I get a diploma?

    Yes. The ZAnailsart Academy diploma is issued after you complete the course: you need to watch every video lesson at least halfway (and pass the quiz or practice work if the course includes them). The diploma comes as a PDF with a unique number and a public verification page — you can show it to a client or an employer.

  • What if I can’t study regularly?

    It’s an online course — you study whenever it suits you. Your access lasts the whole period and the videos can be rewatched without limits. The main thing is to finish before the access period ends.

  • Where do I write if something isn’t working?

    Your account has a “Personal chat with the academy” — write there and we reply on weekdays. About anything: technical issues, payment, or practice.

  • Can I get a refund?

    In line with the standards for digital educational products, once the materials have been opened the course is non-refundable. If you haven’t opened a single lesson, write to us within 14 days and we’ll review it individually.
