Your journey into tech or career growth starts here. Explore the most common questions people ask before enrolling in our programs
Payments & Enrolment
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. We offer a flexible three-part instalment plan so you can spread payments while learning.
How soon can I start?
You can typically start with the next available cohort. Once enrolled, you’ll get onboarding materials and access to pre-course content.
Can I switch courses or pause if something comes up?
Life happens! You can request to defer or switch to another cohort if needed. Just contact our support team.
Is there someone I can speak to before I enrol?
Yes! You can book a free consultation call with our team to help you choose the best path based on your goals.
Courses & Delivery
How are the classes delivered?
Our programs combine live, instructor-led virtual classes with access to self-paced lessons and recorded sessions.
What if I can’t attend live sessions?
You’ll have access to the recordings and self-paced modules, and can still ask questions via the support platform.
How long does the program take?
Most programs run for 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the course. Some flexibility is built in for self-paced learning.
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Absolutely. Our training is designed for beginners and career changers with no prior tech experience.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Many tech roles—like data analysis, business analysis, and product management—don’t require any coding.
What technical setup do I need?
You’ll need a laptop/desktop, a stable internet connection, and access to Zoom. For some tools (like Power BI or SQL), we’ll guide you through setup.
Learning Experience
What makes Clap Academy different from other platforms?
We focus on hands-on experience, mentorship, and community. You’ll work on real projects, get personalised career support, and join a global network of learners.
Do I work on real projects?
Yes. Every student participates in real-life, practical projects to build a professional portfolio.
Is there a community or student forum?
Yes! You’ll join a vibrant learning community with group chats, forums, peer reviews, and alumni connections.
Will I have access to course materials after training ends?
Yes. You’ll retain access to core resources and your project portfolio for 6–12 months post-training.
Global Access
I’m not based in the UK or Europe. Can I still join?
Yes! Clap Academy is a global platform. Students from Africa, Asia, North America, and beyond are welcome.
Career Support & Outcomes
Career Support & Outcomes
Yes, but we don’t guarantee jobs. You’ll be assigned a career coach who helps with your CV, LinkedIn, applications, and interview prep. We also offer on-the-job support after you’re hired.
I don’t have experience—can I still get a job?
Yes. We train beginners using real projects so you build practical experience, confidence, and employability—even without prior experience.
Do I get a certificate after the program?
Yes! But it’s not just one certificate—you’ll graduate with five professional recognitions in one powerful program. These include:
- SQL Certification
- Excel Certification
- Power BI Certification
- Microsoft Certified Data Analyst Associate (optional exam prep included)
- Certified Business Intelligence Professional (CBIP) — awarded to those who complete all project and course requirements, including practical work experience.
This multi-certificate pathway gives you the skills, confidence, and credibility to compete globally in the data-driven job market.
What is the CBIP Certificate, and why is it important?
The Certified Business Intelligence Professional (CBIP) is more than a course certificate—it’s a global badge of excellence.
By completing our data analysis program, you earn recognition for mastering the entire data journey: from SQL and Excel to Power BI, storytelling, business application, and real-world work experience.
The CBIP shows employers you’re not just trained—you’re ready. You’ve built projects, solved problems, and demonstrated end-to-end thinking. That’s what makes our CBIP graduates stand out.
Do I need a professional certification to get hired?
No. Skill is the new currency! Most of our students get hired based on skills and project experience. However, we give certifications and recommend optional certifications (e.g., MCDAA, CBAP, CSM, CSPO) to boost your credibility even further.
Do you offer resume or CV support?
Yes. We help you craft an ATS-friendly CV that showcases your experience and gets past recruitment systems to land in front of real decision-makers.
Do you help with LinkedIn profile optimization?
Definitely. We’ll guide you in building a professional, optimized LinkedIn profile that acts as your online CV and opens doors to new job opportunities.
Do you support portfolio creation?
Yes. We’ll help you organize and present the real-world projects you complete in the program. Your portfolio is your proof of skills — and many of our students have used theirs to impress employers and secure offers.
Do you provide job interview coaching?
Yes. Once you’re ready for interviews, you can request 1-on-1 coaching with our career experts to help you prepare, rehearse, and build confidence.
Do you offer post-hire support?
Yes. We continue supporting you for up to 3 months after you land your job. Whether it’s your first assignment or adjusting to team workflows, we’re here to help you settle in and succeed.
Do you have any success stories?
Absolutely. Visit our Alumni Spotlight or Reviews page to read inspiring stories from our students who’ve landed jobs at top companies.
