Questions people ask

How do I pay?

By card, in US dollars. Prices on this page are in cedis at the day's rate so you can plan, and checkout shows the exact dollar amount before you pay. Mobile money is not available yet. If you do not have a dollar card, checkout has a short guide to getting a virtual one.

Can I pay for a career track in two parts?

Yes. You can pay in full, or choose two payments at checkout. The second is due 3 weeks after the first.

Can I start without experience?

Yes. The career tracks begin with the basics. You should be able to communicate in English, use a computer, practise regularly and act on feedback. If you are new to computers, start with Computer Basics.

What is the difference between a cohort and the self-paced track?

A cohort starts on a set date, with lessons every weekday and one live working session a week. The self-paced track has no cohort dates and no live classes. You start the day you pay, learn on your own schedule with coach feedback online, and keep access for 12 months.

What are the Virtual Assistant upgrades?

Two short add-ons for Virtual Assistant learners: Real Estate Transaction Coordinator and Property Management VA. Each takes two weeks, is paid once by card in US dollars, and adds an endorsement to your Virtual Assistant certificate. They are open to learners enrolled in the Virtual Assistant Certificate and to its graduates, and they are not sold on their own.

How is the certificate earned?

SchoolRegistry Academy issues the certificate when you meet your track's assessment rules. That means knowledge checks and practical tasks, not just watching lessons. Each certificate has its own ID and a public page where anyone can check it. It is not third-party accreditation.

Will I get a job after the course?

A job is not guaranteed. The Academy teaches and tests skills. Getting hired depends on your work, what employers need and what roles are open. Remote roles with US clients may be contract work rather than US employment.

12 short courses, 15 career tracks and 2 two-week upgrades for Virtual Assistant learners.
