Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I preview the course before I buy it?

    Absolutely: we encourage you to enrol in the free previews of the course, read the introductions and start studying the free units.

  • Are the course contents updated?

    One of the advantages of studying with an online course over a paper resource is that our online courses are constantly updated to keep up with the latest news in the concorsi and in the research literature.

  • After buying access to a course, when does it become available?

    Immediately! As soon as you complete your credit card payment, your course will appear in your "dashboard" and you will be able to start studying.

  • How long will my course access be available for?

    All our courses and quiz databases are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As of 1 February 2023, we have doubled the course duration to help teachers who have been subject to the delays of the concorsi, so you can now enjoy the courses for 2 full years.

  • I don't have a credit or debit card: can I pay with a bank transfer?

    Yes, you can pay with a bank transfer and we will activate your access manually within 24 working hours. Just email [email protected] to set this up.
