FAQ

Questions about plans and billing

Questions before you enroll?
(888) 338-7523support@arkadinstitute.com
Are exam fees included?

No. Exam registration fees and prep content are paid to the credentialing body and remain your cost on every plan.

How does the $99 credit work?

If you join the cohort, the $99 Credential Roadmap is credited toward your first month or your yearly enrollment, so you never pay for it twice.

Can I cancel the monthly cohort?

Yes. Monthly cohort enrollment can be cancelled anytime before your next billing date. Your written roadmap stays with you.

Can I switch from monthly to yearly?

Yes. Your advisor can move you to yearly billing at the lower rate, with months already paid applied toward the switch.

What happens right after I enroll?

You complete a short onboarding, then the credential assessment. Your advisor uses both to prepare your written roadmap.
