Common questions
Simple answers about the lessons, your access and the optional certificate application.
Is this course fully in English?
Yes. The English editions use English lessons, navigation and study instructions. Technical Chinese terms are introduced only when they help you understand the original method.
What happens after I enroll?
All lessons in the course unlock in your account. The site remembers where you stopped and shows the next chapter when you return.
Does the platform issue the association certificate?
No. The platform can generate its own completion certificate after you pass the exam, then provide a separate paid application service for the Global Feng Shui Association pathway. The association reviews, generates and issues its own certificate.
