Questions, answered plainly.

No. Open briefs are built for people who are still learning. Each brief lists the skills it needs, so pick one that fits where you are now.

Yes. Briefs ask for skills, not job titles. A mentor can tell you which of your skills carry over and what's still missing.

Not necessarily. Talk to a mentor in the job first; the free slot is made for this. Then decide whether a course would fill a real gap, or whether real work would teach you more.

It gives you what the course didn't: real work for a real business, reviewed by its team, and a record you can show.

Book a short discovery call with a mentor in a field you're curious about. Ask what the job is really like, and what it would take for you to get there.

No. People use FursaFlow in their final year, after graduating and mid-career. What matters is the work you do, not your age or your CV.

Yes. Each brief shows roughly how many hours a week it needs, and mentor sessions are booked around your week.

A real problem from a real business, broken into steps. The business posts it, you apply, and their team reviews each step you deliver.

An Open brief is for when you're starting out: it's unpaid and built around your learning. A Supervised brief is work the team actually needs done, so they bring in an advisor, a senior person paid by the team, who reviews each step. Every brief shows its label before you apply.

Yes. Briefs come from real founders and small companies, not simulations. Teams are checked before they can run Supervised briefs or sign Brief Records.

No. Simulations copy real tasks and check you against a model answer. A brief is a real problem from a real business, and its team reviews your work.

Each brief shows roughly how many hours a week it needs, and for how long, before you apply.

It happens. Ask your mentor what the team was looking for and what to work on, then apply to the next brief.

Ask the team in the brief's chat; answering questions is part of posting a brief. For help with how to do the work well, bring it to your mentor.

Yes, if the brief says it's paid. Every brief shows clearly whether it's paid and how much. On a paid brief (a Supervised brief), the team pays you per milestone, and you're paid when they approve each one. Open briefs are unpaid, because they're built around your learning.

No. Applying to and working on a brief is always free. If anyone asks you to pay to join a brief, report it to us.

Mentors set their own prices, and you see every price in your own currency before you book. Every mentor offers at least one free slot a month: four weeks, one session a week.

You see every price in your own currency before you book. You can pay through Stripe, dLocal, Wise, PayPal or M-Pesa, so you're not forced into dollars.

Yes. Book a single session, a package or a month, and stop when it isn't working. Reschedule or cancel within the notice window shown when you book.

Mentors set their price and we take a share. We never charge you to apply to briefs, and we take no fee if a business later offers you work.

Yes, and we expect you to. AI is part of how work gets done now. While you're learning, use it as a guide: to explain things, check your work and speed you up, not to do the whole job for you.

Yes. AI use is allowed and visible. Say what you used it for. It's how your mentor and the team can give you useful feedback.

Not if you understand your work. What's judged is your judgment: what you decided, why, and whether you can explain it. If you can't explain it, you haven't learned it yet.

It might produce something, but you'd leave without the skill, and a mentor won't sign a Verified Skill for work you can't explain. The point of a brief is to become someone who can do the job.

People doing the job right now, across many fields. They're checked before they can take a booking, and their current role is on their profile.

No, but it helps. A mentor tells you what you're missing while you work. You can start with a free slot.

A course gives you a certificate for finishing lessons. A mentor watches you do real work, tells you what you are missing, and signs their name only when your judgment is good enough.

Your advisor knows the brief. Your mentor knows you. An advisor works for the team on one Supervised brief. Your mentor works with you over months, and only a mentor can sign a Verified Skill.

Your record is the public page with everything you've earned. Your certificate is the document you download, with every Verified Skill on it.

A record signed by the business you delivered for. It says what you delivered, and for whom.

A skill signed by your mentor when they've seen you can do it. Only a mentor can sign one, and paying more never gets you one.

It's a record anyone can open and check: who signed it, and what it says you did. We don't claim any company requires it. What it gives you is proof you can show and a real story to tell.

Add the link to your CV, add your certificate to LinkedIn, or download the PDF. It has a QR code anyone can scan.

The business owns what's delivered. You can always describe what you did, and show the work in your portfolio unless the business marked the brief confidential before posting.

No. Open briefs are built around your learning. If a brief is really the team's production work, it has to become a Supervised brief, with an advisor the team pays for.

No. We don't list jobs and we take no hiring fee. If a business later offers you work, that's between you and them.

Maybe, maybe not. That's between you and them, and we don't take a fee either way. Go in to do the work well, not for a job offer.

No. We don't sell learner data or profiles to anyone, including recruiters.

We can't promise that, and nobody honest can. What you'll have is real work you delivered for a real business, a record anyone can check, and a real answer in every interview.
