Frequently asked questions
Start with the shortest option, 90 minutes. That is enough to cover what matters and settle your main questions, and you can always arrange something longer afterwards.
There are several options: card and other online payments, or payment from a company account. For a company invoice, write to info@onstudy.org with your company details.
We would suggest the course first: it holds a great deal and answers almost every question. A consultation makes sense when your question is unusually complex or personal, and urgent.
