Frequently Asked Questions
Are the classes taught online? The classes are taught through a conference call, but will utilize an online tool to present the material. All students will need to have computer and internet access for class.
Is the conference call number a local or long-distance number? The conference call number is a long distance number. Standard long distance charges will apply. Insha'Allah starting in 2010 we plan to add local numbers in a number of different countries.
What are the fees? Charges for the program are $55/month. Each semester is approximately 3 months ($165) and students will pay on a per-semester basis.
If I am not happy with the class, can I get a refund? Full refunds will be issued within 30 days of the first class. No refunds can be issued thereafter.
Do I need a PayPal account to pay online? You do not need a PayPal account to pay online and register. We use PayPal to process all payments, so once you are taken to the PayPal payment page, there is an option on the left toward the bottom of the screen which says:
Don't have a PayPal account?
Use your credit card or bank account (where available). Continue
If you click the Continue link, you can pay via credit card without a PayPal account.
Can I join in the middle of the year? Registration for the Essentials program will be open throughout the year, but admission to the Essentials PLUS program will only be open at the beginning of the year.
I have already studied before, can I skip into 2nd year? Students are required to start from Year 1 and progress through the course. This allows us to ensure each graduating student has covered the requisite material properly.
