FAQs

Can I join after the course has started?

The Explorer and Prototyper are full for 2026/27 and could be joined until 30 October. You can still join the Seeker at any time, or get notified when 2027/28 sign-ups open in March.

What do I get at the end?

The full altMA certificate, with the Explorer's requirements plus the residencies and your final presentation in Madrid. It is not an accredited academic qualification.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. At checkout you can pay in instalments with Klarna or PayPal. If neither works for you, write to school@fondosupperclub.com and we will arrange three bank transfers.

What is the cancellation policy?

You can withdraw within 14 days of purchase, as provided by law, by writing to school@fondosupperclub.com or using the withdrawal form. After 14 days, fees are not refundable. If we cancel the course, you choose between a full refund and a place on a future edition.

What language is the course taught in?

English. A conversational level is enough to follow the classes and join the discussions.
