Frequently asked
Before youenrol.
Is this really free?
Yes. Three lessons, fully free. No credit card. The framework in Lesson 2 and the consultation card are yours to keep, whether you ever take the paid course or not.
Will it sell me on the paid course?
Lesson 3 is a clear pointer to the full course if you want to keep going, but no pressure. Many practitioners take the Mini, do the work, and never enrol in the paid programme.
Do I get a certificate?
The Mini doesn't include a Certificate of Completion, that sits with the full Hyperpigmentation Decoded course. The Mini is designed as a clarity reset, not a CPD module.
