Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to begin a course?

Just the basics: A Supportedly.com account, a quiet place to focus, the ability to take notes, a can-do attitude, and maybe some tasty treats. We'll provide the rest, including several actionable exercises and worksheets for each lesson.

How long does it take to complete a course?

Well, that all depends on how much time you're willing to spend. On average, training videos run approximately 15-20 minutes. If you pause along the way to complete the actionable exercises provided, though — which we whole-heartedly recommend — you should allow for an hour or so.

All types! Seriously. Whether you're preparing to launch, just getting started, or up and running and steadily growing, we've got how-to training to help you succeed in every stage of your entrepreneurial journey.
