before you enrol
Questions, answered honestly
The things students ask us most — including the awkward one.
Is this really 100% online?
Yes. Every module, video and template sits inside our online campus — self-paced, on any device. Study on the couch, on the train, or at 11pm when the kids are finally asleep.
When do I get access?
The second your payment goes through. No cohort to wait for and no drip-feed — every module and every template unlocks immediately.
Do I need any experience?
None at all. The course starts at the very beginning and takes you through to working with real, paying clients. Plenty of our students came from completely unrelated careers.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes — a Wedding Academy Global digital certificate the moment you finish, ready to put on your website, your LinkedIn and your client proposals.
How long do I have access?
For life, including every future update to the course. Come back to the templates each time you book a new client.
What support do I get?
Our student support team, the private student community, and 30-minute calls with your local mentor whenever you want a real conversation rather than a forum post.
How is this different from the individual certificates?
It contains the complete Wedding Planning, Wedding Styling and Business & Marketing courses in one — the full path from first enquiry to a profitable, booked-out business.
Should I start here or with a single certificate?
If you know this is your career, start here — it’s the whole toolkit and it’s better value than buying the courses separately. If you’re still testing the water, take one certificate first.
Do you offer refunds?
No — and we’d rather say so plainly than bury it. The moment you enrol you receive complete, instant access to every module and every template; there is nothing held back to try before you buy, because you already have all of it. If you’re not sure this is the right course for you, message us first and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can I pay in my own currency, or by invoice?
Yes. Choose “Other” as your payment method at checkout and our team will email you within 24 hours with an invoice and payment options in your currency.
Still not sure? Email our team and we’ll give you a straight answer.
