FAQ

Who is Dedika?

Dedika is a platform where you learn by doing: whether it's putting together a business proposal, becoming a nail technician, or learning to use a new tool.

No matter your goal, the best content on the subject already exists. The problem is, it's often in another language, expensive, scattered around, lacks practical activities, or comes in courses that are too long for busy people.

That's why Dedika has its own method: we find this material wherever it is, organise what makes sense for your goal, review it with the help of experts who are available to answer your questions, and create practical exercises so you can learn by doing.

You are the most important part of your journey and no one knows it better than you: choose the content and course length, decide if you want to learn online or offline, and pick your preferred format. It could be video, text, audio, or a summary. Your way, with only what matters to you.

Here, every moment you dedicate counts for more, and you reach what matters faster.

Is the certificate valid in South Africa?

Yes! You can present your Dedika certificate in South Africa as proof of course completion.

Dedika courses are offered as non-NQF short courses under South Africa's lifelong learning framework, in line with the Continuing Education and Training Act, 2006 (Act No. 16 of 2006) and the Consumer Protection Act, 2008. They do not constitute an NQF-registered qualification.

To obtain your certificate, you must complete at least 80% of the content listed in the course outline and be a Pro student. The number of course hours corresponds to the duration you chose to study.

Are the courses free?

Yes, all our courses have a free version. The free courses have the same high-quality content as the Pro version, but do not include a tutor or AI grading (it would be too expensive to offer for free), do not have offline access, or the ability to print summaries, have a limit of one hour of study per day, and access for 90 days (which is enough time to complete the course).

If you are focused on learning, our free course will be enough to gain all the knowledge you need. However, if you want other benefits, it's better to go for the Pro.

The money raised from Pro courses is crucial for us to keep offering free courses. This way, we aim to balance our mission with the sustainability of the project.

What is the course workload?

The workload of all our courses is set according to the student's needs. We suggest an initial value considered ideal, but you can focus only on the parts you want.

What are the courses like?

The courses are made up of the best content in the world on the subject: videos, audios, articles, and books. All this content comes with summaries, podcasts (for books and articles), and transcripts (for videos and audios). You choose how you prefer to consume the content. Each material has specific questions to reinforce your knowledge.

Also, the course is made up of the chapters you choose, so you can study only what matters to you. At the end of each chapter, there is a practical project related to your profession to practise what you've learnt.

How do the courses work?

The courses are made up of the chapters you choose, in the order you prefer. Each chapter has between 2 and 5 lessons, and each lesson has between 2 and 15 topics, where you'll find the best content in the world to learn.

What is the duration of the courses?

The duration of the courses will be what you decide when choosing the chapters, ranging from 10 to 300 hours, depending on your needs.

What is the cost or price of the courses?

Dedika courses are available in two formats: free and Pro.

Pro courses include high-quality content, a tutor, AI grading, certificates, offline access, access to summaries, no daily content consumption limits, and lifetime access. The funds raised from these courses are crucial for us to keep offering free courses. And even for those who think it might be high, we offer some discounts during the course.

Free courses have the same high-quality content but do not include a tutor or AI grading (it would be too expensive to offer for free), do not have offline access, or the ability to print summaries, have a limit of one hour of study per day, and access for 90 days (enough time to complete the course).

What is an EAD or online course and how does it work?

It's a course where you can study at your own pace and from anywhere. With Dedika, you can even study without the internet, using our app.

The syllabus of your course is the same as an in-person course, but you do everything from the comfort of your home.
