frequently asked questions

If you choose to become a member, you will have access to a digital learning space (a web page behind a paywall) called the Course Creation Station. The space is themed on a railway station (because learning is a journey!) where you will be able to leisurely scroll through six stops: 1. Idea - this is the bit where we do market research and come up with a dazzlingly good concept and plan for a highly successful online course. 2. Platform - this is the bit where we figure out which course platform is going to be best for your unique needs. 3. Structure - this is the bit where we design a mind-blowingly fun and fantastic learning journey that guides your students from a point of not knowing, to a point of knowing. 4. Content - this is the bit where we get really good at writing, designing and producing course content in the form of text, graphics, videos, quizzes and more. 5. Launch - this is the bit where we become high-powered advertising executives and give your course the best launch campaign since Steve Jobs took to the stage in his famous turtleneck to announce a little something called the iPhone. 6. Community - this is where all members get together on a private page on my website called the Clubhouse. It looks and functions a lot like Facebook, where you can post photos/messages/videos etc. to get help/opinions/advice and support. Each stop (apart from the community bit) has three elements: 1. An interactive online course with 5-6 modules, built using industry-leading software and designed to keep you engaged with video, graphics, animation, quizzes and a few drag and drop activities. 2. A PDF handbook with distilled course learnings, which you can download or print to flick through at any time as you progress through your course production. 3. Resources (templates, help-sheets etc. that I've designed) to help you research, plan, build and launch your course. You will also have the option to sign up for the five-week fast track. You will receive an email at the start of each week with all the links and materials you need to focus on that week's topic. You'll also get messages of encouragement throughout the week to keep you on target. Finally, all members are entitled to a 25% off discount on any of my course creation services.

I'm really sorry but once you've paid for a year of membership, I can't issue a refund. This is to prevent the few not-very-nice people from entering the space, downloading all the content, cancelling their membership and requesting a refund. If you're truly not happy with your experience or you feel it doesn't reflect what was promised, then please do send me a message here (https://www.thecoursecreationstation.com/free-question)and we can discuss options. My mission is to make this digital space the best it can possibly be, and I really want you to feel like you're getting great value for money. Please note you can always cancel the membership so that it doesn't auto-renew for the next year.

Yes! Pay once, get lifetime access.

No, but you can buy each course separately here.(https://www.thecoursecreationstation.com/courses-for-course-creators)

Yes! There is a section inside the Course Creation Station membership area where you will be able to request your digital course completion certificate from me.

It's cheaper I've seen online course creation programmes going for thousands of dollars. They usually come with a lot of hyped-up talk (make six figures a month by launching an online course made entirely by AI) and they usually promise quick results for minimal effort. I wanted to produce a much, much better course for much, much less money. Knowledge is power but it should never be elitist. It's just better quality I didn't want to create yet another video series style course where I talk at the camera for ages and you scrabble to take notes. I wanted to create an online space that you can browse in your own time. Because life is busy, and launching an online course takes time. This way, you can dip in and out of content when you need it instead of having to skip through videos to find the information you're looking for. It's been created by a professional learning experience designer I'm not just a random person on the Internet who's convinced themselves they have the secret blueprint to success. I'm actually a learning experience designer by trade, which means I'm paid by organisations to create online courses. So the information I give you in my courses is from knowledge I've picked up in the field, by doing it, by occasionally doing it wrong, and by figuring out how to do it right. It offers long-term value Online courses are transient. You take it, you get all excited to build your course...then you realise the theory was easier than the practical act of building a course. With the Course Creation Station, you can learn as you build. You can always go back, easily navigate to the information you need and drop into the community to ask questions at any time. Whatever stage of production you're at, there's a resource waiting for you. It's kind of fun My whole ethos is that learning should be fun. In my courses, I've harnessed my creative writing skills to pump life, character and a little silliness into the narrative. You're not an information repository, you're a human being, and human beings are always craving stimulation... so that's what I'm trying to offer you in the Course Creation Station.
