FAQ

How do I access the course materials?

You can access the course materials from the Login page. When you purchase the course you will receive an email with a link to your customer portal to create your account. Once logged in, navigate to the courses section, where you'll find all the content available for your enrolled course.

Can I learn at my own pace?

Absolutely! Our course is designed to be self-paced, allowing you to learn at a time that is most convenient for you. You have the flexibility to start and stop as needed, and you can revisit the materials as many times as you want during your access period. You can only attempt Operation Carthage once because answers are provided post-completion. Each customer is entitled to a single license.

Access to Operation Carthage's outcome videos will be limited after course completion to prevent multiple uses of one license.  

Can I interact with other students?

Yes, you will be automatically enrolled into the Open Mind Intelligence Community where you can interact with other analysts and our friendly team.

If you wish for your organisation to have your own siloed community server we would be happy to implement this.

The community is great for asking questions, sharing insights, and networking with peers who share your interests.

What does your onsite training include?

We provide face to face training sessions conducted by Professor Julian Richards at your location for groups. During these sessions, participants will collaboratively undertake Operation Carthage, with Professor Richards facilitating and personally evaluating the outcomes. To discuss your training needs further please contact us.

How long do I have access to the course materials?

For the theory videos, enjoy lifetime access. However, you can only attempt Operation Carthage once, as answers are provided post-completion. Each customer will receive one license for exclusive use. Access to Operation Carthage's outcome videos will be restricted after completing the course. We trust you understand the necessity of this measure.

What is your refund policy?

We are confident that you will be delighted with our course and simulation, which is why we provide a straightforward, 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee. However, please note that once you access "Operation Carthage," the second video of the course, you will be ineligible for a refund due to having accessed the simulation data. Additionally, requesting a refund will disqualify you from receiving a completion certificate or any future CPD/CPE units or points you may have earned. We believe this policy ensures a fair and valuable learning experience for all participants.
