Frequently asked questions

When you register for Class Rebel’s courses, you are purchasing flexibility - as we hold down jobs, care for our children and our family members, its key that we have optionality in how we learn.

Depending on the day, sometimes you’ll want to join us in class, but sometimes other obligations will make video conference or streaming the most convenient option.

Venture capital is a hot topic.

I believe this knowledge is too important to hide behind college applications and tuition fees. The amount of money available for innovation is changing society.

Because we believe in the value of our courses, Class Rebel offers a Before and After refund policy.

Before: If you sign up and it turns out the subject matter isn’t be what you thought it would be, we will refund you ahead of the course 100%.

After: If you take the course, and feel like the learnings don’t measure up to what you believed you’d learn, we will refund you 100% as well.
