Common questions about the Claude Code course taught by Kishan Savaliya — tracks, prerequisites, refunds, certification, costs, agency licensing.
Do I need prior AI experience?
No. Module 1 starts with installing Claude Code — npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code — and your first prompt. We assume you’ve never used an AI dev tool. If you’ve used ChatGPT in a chat window, you’re ahead of schedule. The cohort is calibrated for people whose AI experience starts and ends with “I asked it to write me an email once”.

Do I need to know Magento already?
It helps but isn’t required. The course is structured so a non-Magento dev can follow along (we explain Magento concepts as they appear), but a Magento background lets you skip ~25% of the foundational explanation. If you’re a designer or solo founder with zero Magento, the cohort track is the right pick — the live calls give you space to ask “what is a plugin?” without slowing the whole class. If you’re a Magento veteran, the self-paced track is fastest — you’ll be done in 2 weekends.

How is the cohort run?
Four weeks. Weekly group calls (Saturday 4pm UTC, ~90 min each) covering 2 modules per week. Calls are recorded for replay and held on Zoom. Async work is hands-on assignments scored by peers + Kishan in Discord. Office hours are once per week (Wednesday 4pm UTC, 60 min). The capstone project is built in week 4 and shipped on the final Saturday call. Total time commitment: ~6 hours/week.

Can I switch tracks?
Yes. Self-paced → Cohort: pay the $300 difference any time before cohort week 1 starts. Cohort → 1:1: pay the $1,000 difference any time during the cohort, and we’ll fold the unused cohort weeks into your 1:1 program. 1:1 → anything: not refunded but you keep lifetime cohort access — you can re-attend a future cohort instead of switching down. Switching down (cohort → self-paced) is not refunded but you keep all cohort assets.

What’s the refund policy?
14-day money-back guarantee on all tracks, no questions asked. After day 14: (a) Self-paced — no refund (you keep lifetime access); (b) Cohort — pro-rated refund based on completed modules, minus a $99 admin fee; (c) 1:1 — pro-rated refund for unused 1:1 hours, minus a $199 admin fee. We’ve never had a request beyond the 14-day window in 3 cohorts — the course delivers what it says.

Do I get certified?
Yes. Self-paced — certificate of completion after the final assignment is graded. Cohort — cohort completion certificate (with cohort number, e.g. “Cohort 4 — Q4 2026”) plus the alumni Discord role. 1:1 — same as cohort, plus a personalised letter of reference from Kishan you can use on LinkedIn / job applications. The certificate is signed by Kishan Savaliya (Adobe-Certified Magento Developer) and includes a verifiable URL on this site.

Is the cohort recorded?
Yes. Every Saturday call and Wednesday office-hours call is recorded and uploaded to your cohort dashboard within 24 hours. Recordings stay accessible for the lifetime of your account — useful when you re-attend (free for cohort + 1:1 alumni) or want to refresh a specific module. Live attendance is recommended (peer review + community is the magic) but not required.

Can my whole team enroll?
Yes — we offer team licensing. 3+ seats: 15% off any track. 5+ seats: 25% off + a private team-only Discord channel. 10+ seats: custom pricing + a dedicated cohort just for your team (4-week private cohort, all calls scheduled around your timezone). Email kishansavaliyakb@gmail.com with team size and timezone — we’ll send a quote within 24 hours.

What about agency licensing?
Agencies (3+ developers) can license the course as ongoing internal training. Annual flat-fee: $3,999/year for unlimited seats, lifetime updates included. Includes: every new cohort cycle (typically 4/year), all new slash-commands and templates, a private agency-tier Discord channel, and 2 hours of group office-hours per quarter. Most clients save vs hiring 1 senior dev for 3 months. Email for the agency-license PDF.

Will Claude Code be obsolete in 2 years?
The CLI itself? Maybe — AI tooling moves fast. The skills you learn? No. The course is structured around durable concepts: writing project memory (CLAUDE.md), defining slash-commands, connecting MCP servers, gating dangerous commands with hooks, orchestrating sub-agents. These are universal AI-pair-programming patterns — they’ll work in whatever tool replaces Claude Code. We update the course quarterly to track Anthropic’s roadmap, and lifetime access means you get every update free.

What’s the cost of Anthropic API during the course?
Tiny. ~$5/week of cohort study time, billed directly by Anthropic. Most students use Claude Pro at $20/month for unlimited (rate-limited) usage — that’s the cheapest path. Heavy users (running sub-agents on big repos) might prefer Claude API at $3/$15 per million tokens, with prompt caching enabled to drop input cost by 90%. Total over the 4-week cohort: $20 (Claude Pro) or $30–50 (API) typical. Worth pointing out: you save ~$200 in API costs by using prompt caching — module 1 covers exactly how.

What sets your course apart from a YouTube playlist?
Three things. (1) Real Magento + Hyvä specificity. YouTube tutorials use generic Python or Next.js. We use your stack — Magento setup patches, Hyvä phtml, db_schema, MFTF, the Marketplace EQP scanner. (2) Live cohort + peer review. Watching videos is 10% of learning. Shipping reviewed code in a deadline-driven cohort is 90%. (3) An instructor who ships. I’ve published 60+ Magento extensions and run AI-paired delivery on real client projects every day. The slash-commands, hooks, and CLAUDE.md template you receive are exactly what I use to bill clients — not theory, not a YouTube demo.
