Common questions

How does the timetable adapt?

Every week the plan is rebuilt from two things: how you scored on recent mastery checks, and how much of the syllabus is still ahead of you. Topics you are struggling with get more time. Topics you have already demonstrated get less. Nothing is repeated for its own sake.

How many units can I register for?

As many as you need, in one registration. One unit is KES 6,000, two are KES 12,000 and three are KES 14,000. From the fourth unit each one is KES 4,500, and however many you take the total never goes above KES 28,000.

What assessments are included?

Mastery checks after each topic, a short test to assess your understanding of the concept, real past papers, and a final assessment before your sitting. Marking is immediate and the feedback names the gap rather than just the score.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, from KES 6,000 upwards. Three units (KES 14,000) can be paid as two instalments of KES 7,000; a full six units (KES 27,000) as two of KES 13,500 — the first at registration and the second a month later. Your first instalment opens the first half of the topics; the balance opens the rest.
