FAQ
Questions we hear every day.
Quick answers about our courses, pricing and booking at Kestrel Learning. Can't find yours? Just ask.
Do I need any experience to start?
Most of our courses are designed for complete beginners. Where a course needs prior knowledge, such as the Data Science Bootcamp, we say so clearly and offer a free prep course.
When do courses start?
Online courses start every month, and campus cohorts start in January, April, July and October. You can see every upcoming date on each course page.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Every course over $1,000 can be paid in interest-free monthly instalments, and career-track courses can be paid monthly and paused at any time.
What if the course isn't right for me?
If you change your mind within 14 days of your start date, we'll refund you in full, no questions asked.
How much time will I need each week?
Between 4 and 15 hours depending on the course. Each course page shows a realistic weekly estimate based on what past students actually spent.
What happens if I fall behind?
Your tutor will help you catch up, and you can transfer to a later cohort once for free. All live sessions are recorded too.
Is the certificate recognised by employers?
Our certificates are accredited and well regarded by our 120+ hiring partners. More importantly, you'll graduate with a portfolio that shows what you can do.
What career support do you offer?
Career-track students get CV and portfolio reviews, mock interviews and introductions to hiring partners for up to twelve months after graduating.
