Straight answers before you book
Certificate, accreditation, recordings and teachers. These are often unclear on course pages, so here they are plainly.
Is there a certificate?
We do not promise a certificate. Ask your teacher in the free trial what you will have to show for your study.
Is it accredited?
We make no accreditation claim. This is a teacher-led learning course, not a degree or a regulated qualification.
Are lessons recorded?
No. Lessons are live and one-to-one. The academy does not record them, and a student may record after telling the teacher first.
Who teaches?
Certified teachers, mostly female, who speak English, Arabic and Urdu. Meet them on our teachers page.
Meet the teachers on our teachers page. Want the meaning of the Quran next? See Tafseer. Want to recite well? See Tajweed.
