Where do my course fees go?
The Expedition Project is a social enterprise (a social cause organisation) meaning its primary objective is not profit. We create opportunities that benefit both the student and the course creator and we create courses which help conservation and awareness of some of South Africa's most pressing community and conservation issues. Course fees go to our collaboration of course contributors and creators. Money that goes to The Expedition Project is then reinserted back into created more opportunities.
-
Is there an enrolment date?
Most of our online courses are on-demand courses which mean you can take them in your own time, at your own pace. However, do note that some courses will have expiry dates.
-
Will there be live lessons and live support?
We do have some live webinars, Q&A sessions and live streams, however these are usually added as a bonus rather than as a guarantee.
Accreditation and Affiliation
-
Will my course be recognised internationally?
We are an independent online course platform working alongside collaborating organisations. We were one of the only organisations who could provide EMS credits during COVID to UK students. In addition, we are recognised by several UK universities for our in-person placements. We are happy to provide expanded certificates, hour logs and topic references should any students require them (only available to courses where certificates are available).
-
Can I use this course for my CPD hours?
As we are a small social enterprise, we cannot afford the high annual fees for CPD accreditation as we aim to send maximum fundraising to our partnering conservation and community organisations, however our courses are signed off by the organisations, professionals and instructors who collaborate in making them. We are happy to provide expanded certificates, hour logs and topic references should any students require them (only available to courses where certificates are available).
