Payment FAQs

How long does payment verification take?

Most payments are verified within 1 hour during our operating hours (8:00 AM - 10:00 PM EAT). Cryptocurrency payments may take slightly longer (up to 3 hours) due to blockchain confirmations.

What if I don't receive my confirmation email?

First, check your spam/junk folder. If you still can't find it, contact us immediately via WhatsApp at +256 778 428443 with your payment details. We'll resend your access information.

Can I pay in installments for any course?

Our 2-phase installment plan is available for courses priced above $100. The first 50% payment grants you 14 days of temporary access, and the remaining balance must be paid to continue.

What happens if my payment fails but money was deducted?

Contact us immediately with your payment proof. We'll investigate and either grant access or initiate a refund within 24 hours. Most payment issues are resolved within 3 hours.

Are there any additional fees?

No, we don't charge any additional fees. However, your bank or mobile money provider may apply transaction fees which are beyond our control.
