Frequently asked
Grouped by theme — we prefer honest limits over brochure optimism. If your question needs a data-use opinion, we point you to your employer’s counsel.
Admissions & format
Are cohorts synchronous only?
Blended tracks mix live interpretation clinics with asynchronous problem sets. Fully async options are labeled explicitly.
Do you guarantee job placement?
No. We coach artifacts hiring managers can inspect; outcomes depend on your market and prior experience.
Is there a participant cap?
Some intensives close at eighteen seats when mentor ratios would suffer — we post numbers per cohort, not theatrical scarcity.
Software & data
Do you include Stata or Python licenses?
No — licenses remain your employer’s or personal responsibility. We publish version pins and open alternatives where feasible.
Can I use proprietary firm data?
Only with permission you already hold. Instructors cannot sign private NDAs for your datasets.
What is not included in tuition?
Travel, software licensing, bespoke data purchases, and legal clearance for restricted feeds are outside fees unless stated in writing.
Teaching philosophy
Why so much focus on limitations?
Because estimates without limitations mislead faster than estimates with wide intervals.
Are certificates automatic?
No — mentors sign off on submitted artifacts. Partial completion earns feedback, not a certificate.
Employers & finance
Can teams invoice centrally?
Yes — we issue cohort invoices and can align milestones to internal review windows when arranged early.
Do you price in other currencies?
THB is standard; foreign settlements may incur bank fees we do not control.
