To see the free preview chapter you have to enter your details to get enrolled in the course. You are required to login because that is how access is given to our courses.

This can be information on course updates, new course material, progress reports, notifications, promotions etc. Please review our terms and conditions for more information.

Payments, refunds and specials

How are my payments managed?

You can pay via credit card (we use Stripe for credit card transactions). We do not have any access to your bank/card account as this is managed by Stripe. Please review our terms and conditions for more information.
What if my employer is paying for my training?

We can generate an online invoice that you can send to your employer for payment. We accept payments via credit card, internet banking and international wire transfer. To request this, please email us at support@agorainsights.com with the following information: employer name and business address, name of contact person and email address.
What are your methods of payment?

All our courses can be paid via credit card through the website. On occasions where it is the employer or a company who is paying on behalf of the learner, we can generate an online invoice for payment via internet banking or international wire transfer or remittance. Please email us on support@agorainsights.com for payments other than credit card.
Can I get a refund?

We do not offer refunds. We do not have to give a refund if you change your mind about a purchase for any reason — so please choose carefully. To help ensure learners have made the right decision, they are offered a free preview to review the product on offer.
How do promo codes work?

Occasionally we have special offers which require a promo code to redeem the discount. In the check-out page, you can enter the promo code. Make sure that discount is showing on your check-out page before clicking the buy button.
Why is my promo code not working?

Our course bundles have additional courses that get added, like the library and question bank. To ensure you get all of the courses in the bundle and can use the promo code, you need to go to the landing page of the course (you will see your landing page link on the top menu of our main site) and click on your course. NB: If you click on a course preview and go straight to check out from there it only loads the course and not the additional products and therefore the promo code will not work.
Are your course fees set in US Dollars?

Yes, all our course fees are in US$.
Do you offer group discounts?

Yes we can offer 30% discount and 1 hour complimentary live training session via Zoom or Microsoft Teams if you have at least 8 learners from the same organisation signing up to a course bundle. Enquire at support@agorainsights.com to learn more.
