Before you begin

A few useful answers.

Everything you need to know before your first lesson.

Gengar Pokémon card
1961 Fleer Bill Russell basketball card
Mew ex Pokémon card
Do I need to own any cards?

No. The free lessons use card pictures, diagrams and practice scenarios. You can learn before making a purchase.

Can I take the test first?

Yes. Each level has a 50-question multiple-choice assessment. Read the lessons first or take the test directly.

How are assessments marked?

The four main course trials require 40 correct answers out of 50. That's an 80% pass standard, with a percentage and explanations after submission.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes. A submitted, saved result of at least 80% earns a personalised Trading Card Mastery certificate. Open it from the results page or My certificates to print or save as a PDF. Earned records remain after retakes. These are independent course certificates, not accredited qualifications.

What happens if I fail?

Review the feedback and retake the full test while keeping your lesson access and progress. Current free-trial and pilot retakes are free.

Do learners need an account?

Yes. Sign in through My Learning, then create your learner nickname. An account is required before opening trial lessons, exams or the Play Lab. Your course progress is saved across devices. No payment is required.
