Answers about classes, fees and what happens after you enrol.
Questions people ask before they join Scholar
Do I need a design degree to start?
No. Our first course starts from zero and builds up week by week. Curiosity and about six hours a week are all you really need.
How long does each course take?
Most courses run for twelve weeks, with two live classes and one project review each week. Every session is recorded for you.
Which tools will I learn to use?
You will sketch on paper first, then move to the design and prototyping tools teams use today. We show you each step slowly.
Can I study while I keep my job?
Yes. Live classes run in the morning and the evening, and you can catch up on recordings at any time during the week.
Will a mentor review my own work?
Every project you hand in gets written feedback from a mentor, and you can book a short one-to-one call twice a month.
What will my portfolio include?
By the end of a course you will have one finished case study, from first research notes to a tested, clickable prototype.
Can I pay for a course in parts?
Yes. You can pay in full, or in three monthly parts with no extra fee. Your place is held as soon as the first part arrives.
What if the course is not right for me?
Write to us within the first fourteen days and we will refund your payment in full, with no questions asked at all.
