We don't believe in exams, so assessments (which we call checkpoints) have been designed to be practical so we can equip you with the right mindset, skillset, and toolset!
Our checkpoints, regardless of the unit, can range from reflective or research focussed (i.e. asking you a series of questions so you can explore your relationship/attitude/behavior with money and set some financial goals), and others will be practical (i.e. creating a business plan or completing a business case project).
Each checkpoint will be graded by our team of assessors, so you will get feedback as you progress through the course. Checkpoints are a hurdle requirement and are graded in P/F. You will be required to submit all checkpoints within the program dates in order to receive your credit. (That's about 5-6 checkpoints in 6 weeks).
Yes! HEX Ed comes with a Certificate of Completion issued by an accredited university. This Certificate is recognised by most universities for credit equivalency. However, this isn't guaranteed and you'll need to check with your own university about how much credit you can get, and which subjects you can get it for. We recommend you get in touch with our team at hello@startwithhex.com, who will be able to help you navigate this with your course advisor.
This can happen! If you have any suggestions of when is a better time for you and why, let us know at hello@startwithhex.com. Or, if you're okay with no academic credit, join HEX Ed Go instead so you can have a completely asynchronous and self-paced experience!
