Built for under-18s
A parent or guardian gives consent before a 17-year-old starts, as POPIA requires. Their school only sees progress if they agree.
A CV with something real on it
Plus the free Career Starter Kit. No course can promise a job, but this gives a stronger start.
Schools and sponsors
Partner schools earn 10% of course fees paid by their learners. Companies can sponsor seats or book a whole group.
Every partner school's marketing says that it is a MetaCo partner school, that it receives 10% of course fees paid by its learners, and what the money is used for. Courses are always optional.
