Purchased Achology courses provide lifetime access to course content—you can revisit material indefinitely. Membership provides access to community platform, live events, and features only during active subscription. Access All Areas Pass includes lifetime access to all 28 courses plus 12-month membership. Course access and membership access are separate considerations.
The short answer
- Individual courses (£72-221): Lifetime access to course content
- School bundles (£729-987): Lifetime access to all courses in that bundle
- Access All Areas Pass (£2,212): Lifetime access to all 28 courses
- Membership (monthly/annual): Access during active subscription only
- Courses include temporary membership: 3-12 months depending on purchase
- After membership expires: Course content remains accessible; community access requires active membership
The full answer
Access duration depends on what you’ve purchased. Achology separates course content access from community membership access, each functioning differently.
Lifetime access to purchased courses. When you purchase an individual course, school bundle, or Access All Areas Pass, you receive permanent access to that course content. This means:
You can revisit material anytime — years after purchase, content remains available in your account
No time limits — course access doesn’t expire after months or years
Future updates included — if course content is updated or improved, you access the new version
Self-paced forever — no pressure to complete within specific timeframe
This lifetime access applies to the course material itself—video lessons, written content, downloadable resources, exercises, assessments. Once purchased, it’s yours permanently.
Membership access is subscription-based. Membership provides access to:
- Community platform and discussion forums
- Daily live events across time zones
- Peer practice opportunities
- Mentorship groups
- Selected previews and bonus content
- Platform features and tools
Membership access lasts only during your active subscription period. If you cancel your membership or it expires, you lose access to these community features and live events. However, you retain access to any courses you’ve purchased.
How courses include membership. Most course purchases include temporary membership:
Individual courses: 3 months of membership included
School bundles: 12 months of membership included
Access All Areas Pass: 12 months of membership included
During this included period, you access both course content and community features. After the included membership expires, you choose whether to continue membership subscription (£34.50/month or £377/year) or let it lapse.
If membership lapses, you still have: Permanent access to purchased course content
If membership lapses, you lose: Community platform access, live events, peer practice, discussion forums
Why this structure exists. Courses are permanent educational resources you own. Community is an ongoing operational cost—platform maintenance, live event facilitation, moderation, support. Lifetime community access isn’t financially sustainable, so it operates on subscription model.
This separation lets you choose: engage with community actively whilst learning, or study independently using course materials alone without ongoing subscription cost.
Access All Areas Pass specifics. The £2,212 Access All Areas Pass provides:
Lifetime access to all 28 courses — every course currently in the curriculum plus any future additions
12 months of membership — full community access for one year
Future course releases included — new courses added to curriculum become accessible automatically
After the initial 12-month membership expires, you retain lifetime access to all course content but would need active membership subscription to continue accessing community features and live events.
Practical scenarios:
Scenario 1: You purchase Life Coaching Certificate Course (£221). You receive lifetime access to course material plus 3 months of membership. After 3 months, membership expires but you can still access the course forever. If you want continued community access, subscribe to membership separately.
Scenario 2: You purchase The School of NLP bundle (£840). You receive lifetime access to all 5 NLP courses plus 12 months of membership. After 12 months, course access continues indefinitely but community access requires renewing membership subscription.
Scenario 3: You purchase Access All Areas Pass (£2,212). You receive lifetime access to all 28 current courses plus any future additions, plus 12 months of membership. After 12 months, all courses remain accessible forever, but continued community engagement requires active membership.
What happens if you return after years. If you purchased courses years ago, let membership lapse, then return wanting to engage with community again:
Your course content — still fully accessible exactly as when purchased (possibly improved if updates occurred)
Your community access — requires reactivating membership subscription
Your progress — saved, so you can continue where you left off in courses
Nothing is lost. You simply reactivate membership if you want community engagement alongside your permanently accessible course content.
Download and offline access. Some course materials are downloadable (PDFs, worksheets, resources). Once downloaded, these remain on your devices regardless of account access. However, video content and interactive platform features require account access, which is permanent for courses but subscription-dependent for community.
The strategic choice. If you value community learning, live events, and peer practice, maintain active membership throughout your learning journey. If you prefer independent study and don’t need community engagement, let membership lapse after the included period—your course content remains fully accessible.
Many learners maintain membership whilst actively studying, cancel during breaks, then reactivate when returning to learning. The flexibility accommodates changing life circumstances without losing educational investment.
Next step
Understand that purchasing courses provides permanent content access. Decide whether ongoing community membership serves your learning style and goals.
