Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our courses.
About the Courses
Do I need any prior experience to enroll?
No. All courses are designed for complete beginners. If you can use a computer and browse the internet, you can learn. I’ve trained thousands of students who started with zero digital marketing experience.
When does the next cohort start?
The next cohort starts November 10, 2025. We run new cohorts every 3-4 weeks. Check individual course pages for exact start dates or contact us to reserve your spot.
What time are the live classes?
Classes run 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM IST or 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM IST, Monday through Friday (depending on the cohort). This timing works well for students in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Kenya, and Nigeria. Can’t make these times? Contact us for alternative scheduling options.
How long are the courses?

Are classes live or pre-recorded?
100% live via Google Meet/Zoom. You get real-time interaction with me. Ask questions, get immediate answers, and receive personalized feedback. No pre-recorded videos where you’re stuck figuring things out alone.
What if I miss a class?
All classes are recorded and available for 30 days after the course ends. But I strongly encourage attending live—that’s where the real learning happens through questions and interaction.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes! You’ll receive:
- Learnistry Completion Certificate
- Google certifications (Analytics, Ads – depending on your course)
- HubSpot Digital Marketing Certification (included with enrollment)
But more importantly, you’ll have real portfolio projects—websites you built, SEO campaigns you optimized, Google Ads you managed. That proof is what gets you clients and jobs.

It depends on your market and effort, but here are realistic ranges:
- WordPress freelancers: $200-600 per project, $600-1,500/month with 2-4 clients
- SEO consultants: $150-600/month per client (ongoing retainers)
- Google Ads managers: $300-1,000/month per client
- Full-stack digital marketers: $1,000-2,500/month with multiple clients

Location & Timezones
I'm not in India. Can I still enroll?
Yes! I’ve trained students across Kenya, Nigeria, Philippines, Bangladesh, Nepal, and other countries. Classes are held at 2:00 PM IST or 6:30 PM IST, which works well for most African and Asian time zones. Can’t make it? Contact me for alternative scheduling.
What time zones do you support?
Our class times work best for:
- India (IST)
- Bangladesh (BST)
- Nepal (NPT)
- Kenya (EAT)
- Nigeria (WAT)
For other time zones (Philippines, Middle East, etc.), contact us to discuss options.
Course Formats
What's the difference between Standard, Hybrid, and 1:1 courses?
Standard (Group):
- Max 5 students
- Live teaching
- Group Q&A
- Most affordable
1:1 Intensive:
- Just you and me
- Completely customized pace
- Flexible schedule
- Maximum personalization
- Premium pricing
Can I switch courses after enrolling?
Yes, if you enroll in one course and realize another would be better, you can switch before Day 3 (as long as that cohort has space). Contact us immediately to arrange.
Can I take multiple courses at once?
Yes, you can! However, I recommend this approach:
If you’re a fast learner or have 4+ hours/day available:
- Take WordPress + SEO together (they complement each other)
- Or take SEO + Google Ads together (traffic strategies)
If you’re working full-time or have limited time:
- Take one course, complete it, apply what you learned, then enroll in the next
- This ensures you actually implement, not just learn
Best approach – Our bundle options let you enroll in multiple courses and take them back-to-back or simultaneously at a discounted rate. Contact me to discuss the best learning path for your goals.
About Learnistry
Is Learnistry accredited?
Learnistry is a new teaching platform, not an accredited university. However, you will earn industry-recognized certifications from Google and HubSpot, which are globally recognized and valued by employers.
Why should I choose Learnistry over other online courses?
Here’s the truth: Nobody cares about your certificate. They care about what you can DO.
Clients don’t hire you because you have a PDF certificate. They hire you because you can show them a website you built, an SEO campaign that ranked, or Google Ads that generated ROI.
That’s what Learnistry focuses on: Real work. Real portfolio. Real results.
Most online courses:
- Give you pre-recorded videos
- Award a certificate at the end
- You’re on your own to figure out how to apply it
- No portfolio, no proof, no clients
Learnistry:
- Live teaching with me (18 years experience, not a script-reader)
- You BUILD during the course (websites, SEO campaigns, Google Ads)
- By Day 10, you have real projects to show clients
- Plus certifications from Google & HubSpot (bonus, not the main point)
- Small groups (max 5-10) so I see your work and give feedback
- I teach you how to find clients, price your services, and build your brand
Bottom line: Other courses give you knowledge. I give you portfolio + knowledge + client acquisition skills.
After Learnistry, you can say:
- “Here’s a website I built” (show it)
- “Here’s an SEO campaign I optimized” (show before/after metrics)
- “Here’s a Google Ads strategy I ran” (show dashboard)
That’s what gets you hired. Not a certificate you print from Canva.
How is Learnistry different from YouTube tutorials?
YouTube is great for quick tips, but:
- It’s scattered and unstructured
- No personalized guidance
- No accountability
- No portfolio projects
- No certifications
- No one to ask when you’re stuck
Learnistry gives you a clear path, direct mentorship, and real outcomes.
Can I see student testimonials?
We’re a brand new platform launching our first cohort on November 10, 2025. Testimonials will be available after our first students complete the program. Want to be among the first? Founding members get special benefits and priority support.
Enrollment & Logistics
How do I enroll?
- Choose your course on the Courses page
- Click “Enroll Now”
- Complete payment (Razorpay or PayPal)
- You’ll receive a confirmation email with course details, Google Meet link, and materials
When is the enrollment deadline?
Enrollment closes 2 days before the cohort starts (e.g., if cohort starts Nov 10, enrollment closes Nov 8). This gives us time to prepare materials and set up the Google Meet.
What happens if the cohort doesn't fill up?
If we have fewer than 3 students enrolled, However, I’m committed to running the course even with 3 students—small groups are what we’re about.
