Courses & Progress
Learn how to navigate courses, track progress, and continue seamlessly across your Incubator or Accelerator programs.
Accessing Your Courses
All courses are available directly from your Dashboard. You’ll see the ones included with your current membership:
- Incubator Members → Idea Validation, Product-Led MVP, and Bootstrapping
- Accelerator Members → Accelerator Course, Product-Led MVP, and Bootstrapping
Freemium and free trial users see limited versions of these courses (first 5–6 lessons per course).
Starting a Course
- Go to your Dashboard and click a course title.
- Click the first lesson (e.g., “Priming Your Mind for Idea Validation”).
- Use the “Mark Complete” button at the bottom of each lesson to track your progress.
Tip: Once a lesson is marked complete, the next one automatically unlocks. Your progress bar will update at the top of the course page.
Tracking Progress
LearnDash saves your progress automatically when you’re logged in — no manual tracking required. You can see your completion bar on:
- Each course’s sidebar (lesson progress)
- Your Dashboard (overall completion)
If you upgrade from a free trial, all your completed lessons stay saved — you’ll continue right where you left off.
Lesson Locked? Here’s Why
If a lesson is grayed out or says “Locked,” it usually means:
- You haven’t enrolled in the course yet.
- You’re on a plan that doesn’t include that course.
- Your trial has expired.
- You haven’t completed the prior lesson yet.
Check your Account page to confirm your membership level. Your progress will reappear instantly once you upgrade.
Using Focus Mode
Click the “Focus Mode” button for distraction-free learning. To navigate back to your dashboard, hover over your profile icon (top-right) and choose “Dashboard” or “My Courses.”
Troubleshooting Progress
- Lesson won’t mark complete: Refresh, clear cache, or ensure you’re logged in.
- Progress disappeared: Don’t panic — it’s still stored. Log back in, or check another browser tab.
- Page stuck loading: Reload the page or disable browser extensions temporarily.
If none of those help, post your issue in the Contact Us Page with the course name, lesson link, and a quick description. We’ll respond within one business day (Mon–Fri).
Completion & Next Steps
Once you finish a course, you’ll unlock all next-step guidance automatically. Completion certificates aren’t live yet, but they’re coming soon. For now, paid members receive a private deliverables checklist to track milestones for graduation.
