getting started
Getting started
Where do I start?
Pick the subject family closest to your work in the catalogue and take its first unit. If you are unsure, our learner support desk will suggest one.
How long is a unit?
Between 5 and 90 minutes. Most first units take 10 to 15 minutes.
Do I need to be near a campus?
No. Most units work at a home study station. Hands-on units need a supervised practice station on a campus.
Where will House for Learning be offered?
Online, everywhere. We plan offices across India and hubs abroad that will serve learners worldwide with partners. Each location is announced when it opens.
What do head, heart and hands mean?
Every unit has an outcome for what you know, why it matters to you, and what you can do.
pathways and credits
Pathways and credits
Do units add up to something bigger?
That is the plan: units into micro-credits, short courses, a certificate stage, and then diploma and degree pathways. See how credits stack.
Is House for Learning accredited?
We make no accreditation claim. A degree can only be awarded by a body entitled to award it, and any degree pathway will be named only once an agreement is in place.
What is learn and earn?
A planned route to study and work on real projects at the same time, with study time protected and safety first.
What if I fail a quick check?
Review your answers and try again. The pass mark is 80%, and your best score is kept.

Live classes
When are the live classes?
Dates open with the members area. Members will see the calendar in their own time zone.
Do live classes have captions?
Yes. Every live session will have captions in the session language.
support
Support and accessibility
Can I get extra time or another format?
Yes. Ask learner support for an adjustment; you do not need to share medical details. See adjustments.
I am a parent. What can my child do here?
Young learners can join with your consent if they are under 16, or the age set by local law. See for parents and guardians.
Who can I talk to if something feels unsafe?
Stop the task and tell learner support or the lab supervisor straight away. Anyone can stop a task they think is unsafe.
Are Loka and Vidya real people?
No. They are our AI guides and they will always say so. They are coming soon, and they will hand you to a person when you ask.
membership and payments
Membership, payments and your data
How much does it cost?

Full refund within 14 days, then unused months less 10%. There is no exit fee, and membership does not renew by itself unless you switch renewal on.

organisations
For employers and institutions
Can you build learning for my team?
Yes. We map your roles to units and an onboarding ladder. See For organisations.
Will I see my staff’s private answers?
No. Organisations see insights only at team level, for groups large enough that no one can be singled out, and only for learners who switched sharing on.
Can trainers teach our units?
Experienced practitioners can follow the trainer and coach pathway to teach and assess with our units.
No question matches that. Ask us directly.
