Perguntas Frequentes – FAQ
Quando terei acesso às palestras e às tarefas?
O acesso a palestras e tarefas depende do tipo de inscrição. Se você participar de um curso como ouvinte, você poderá ver quase todo o conteúdo do curso gratuitamente. Para acessar tarefas valendo nota e obter um Certificado, você precisará adquirir a experiência do Certificado, durante ou após a participação como ouvinte. Se você não vir a opção de participar como ouvinte:
- o curso pode não oferecer essa opção. Você pode experimentar um teste gratuito ou solicitar o auxílio financeiro.
- Em vez disso, o curso pode oferecer 'Curso completo, sem Certificado'. Com esta opção, é possível ver todo o conteúdo do curso, enviar as avaliações necessárias e obter uma nota final. Isso também significa que você não poderá comprar uma experiência de Certificado.

Qual é a política de reembolso?
Você poderá pedir reembolso total até duas semanas após a data do pagamento, ou (para cursos recém-iniciados) até duas semanas após o início da primeira sessão do curso, o que ocorrer por último.
