04 —FAQ
Before you join.
I'm not technical. Will this work for me?
Yes. The training assumes zero prior technical knowledge. The hardest skill required is following a screenshot. If you can use Stripe or online banking, you can follow Essentials.
How is this different from a free YouTube course?
Free courses give you knowledge. Essentials gives you 12 deployed templates, a measured posture score, a certificate, and a community. The work gets done, not just watched.
How much time do I really need?
90 minutes of video + 7 days of execution = roughly 30 minutes per evening for a week. If you don't have that, the money-back guarantee covers you.
Is the certificate recognised by anyone?
It's a Cyber Experts certificate, not an ANSSI or ISO certification. Insurers and customers value it as proof of demonstrable diligence. It is not a regulatory credential.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime, including all quarterly updates. No subscription.
What if I need more after the training?
For most micro-businesses, Essentials is enough. For those who outgrow it, we offer Ally, Upgrade and Advisory, by conversation. Email us if interested.
Can I get a company invoice?
Yes, Stripe automatically issues an invoice that complies with French VAT, ex-VAT or VAT-included depending on your status.
