Questions

Good to know.

Is it really free?

Yes. All 12 classes have zero fees. Seats are limited, so book the ones you want.

Who can join?

Students in any year and recent graduates, 18 or older, from any degree. Freshers and people with experience are both welcome.

Do I have to come to all 12?

No. Book the classes you want. Coming to 3 of the 4 in a month completes that month's passport and unlocks its reward.

What should I bring?

Your phone (you check in with it), something to write with, and your resume if you have one.

How do I check in?

Open My Skill Pass on your phone at the centre and tap Check in, or scan the QR on the screen. Staff at the desk can help too.

I didn't get the WhatsApp code.

Wait a minute and check WhatsApp on the number you typed, then ask for a new code. Still nothing? Ask at the centre.

Will someone call me about courses?

Only if you tick the box asking for a free counselling call. You can change your choices any time in My Skill Pass.

Seats are limited. Book yours.

15 seats a class, first come first served. It takes two minutes.
