Frequently Asked Questions…

Do I need to have a YouTube channel before I take the course?

No, it’s not compulsory but we’re always going to recommend having a channel set up and being prepared to post videos so that you have the opportunity to implement what you’re learning from the course materials as you go.

What experience with YouTube do I need to have?

No past experience with YouTube is required, you just need the desire to make YouTube part of your future.

Does this course teach me how to edit?

Yes and no. You’ll get access to a free video class – ‘Video Editing with Final Cut Pro X – From Beginner to YouTuber’, as part of your purchase, but we don’t actually teach practical editing skills as part of the Part-Time YouTuber Academy curriculum itself.

What sort of channel is the course suitable for?

The course isn’t tailored to any specific genre/style of video. That being said, educational channels (where the objective is to ‘educate’ rather than ‘entertain) are particularly ideal for this course. Still, if your videos try to provide value to your audience, the exact type of your channel won’t matter. In fact, I think the system and processes in the course can be applied to any genre of video and we’ll be on hand to help make sure that you feel able to apply these methods if you encounter any issues.

Should I wait until I have a certain number of subscribers?

No. Over the last three years of teaching 3,000+ creators how to improve their YouTube game, we’ve taught a whole range of people from those with zero subscribers to channels with over 400k. This course is designed to help everyone move their channels forward regardless of what stage of the journey they’re at.

I’ve made 100 videos already, is this course for me?

Of course 🙂 The course is aimed at creators of all abilities. Having 100 videos provides you with a really solid foundation to grow, monetise and scale your channel and we hope we can help you do that through the lessons on the course.

Is it possible to pay in instalments?

Unfortunately, we don’t not accept payments in instalments, but we offer scholarships to support eligible students.

Can I get an invoice?

No problem, just let us know via email once you’ve made a purchase that you need one and we’ll send that to you.
