Clarifications and Terms of Use
Before you enroll or rely on any material here, these notes settle the questions that come up most often. They define what a module is, what completion means, and where the academy's responsibility ends.
What counts as a completed module?
A module is marked complete when you have worked through its reading, run the example code yourself, and finished the short exercise at the end. Watching a video or skimming the text is not the same thing. We track progress by exercise submission, not by time spent on the page, so a fast learner and a slow one both finish the same way.
Are the code samples safe to run on my own machine?
Every sample is written to run in a standard local environment with no special permissions. Still, you are responsible for what you execute. Read a snippet before running it, keep your own backups, and do not paste in code from outside the academy without checking it first. We cannot review third-party code you bring into your own projects.
Does finishing a track certify me as a developer?
No. The academy issues a record of the modules you completed and the exercises you passed. That record describes your work here, nothing more. It is not a professional license, a degree, or a guarantee of employment. Employers and clients make their own judgments, and you should present your own projects alongside any record from us.
How current is the technical material?
Modules are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we note the revision date on each one. Languages and tools change, and a module that was accurate last year may need an update. If you find something that no longer matches current practice, write to us and we will look at it. We do not promise that every page reflects the latest release of every tool mentioned.
Can I reuse the lessons in my own teaching?
The written material, exercises, and examples are for your personal study. You may not republish them, sell them, or present them as your own course. Quoting a short passage with a clear reference back to the academy is fine. If you want to use a larger part of a module in a classroom or workshop, contact us first and we will discuss it.
What happens if a module is retired or replaced?
When a module is retired, it is removed from the active track and no longer counts toward a completion record. We keep a short note explaining why it was replaced, so you are not left wondering where it went. If you were midway through a retired module, we will point you to the closest current equivalent.
