What is the Coaching feature?
Get personalized mentorship from expert coaches to accelerate your career journey. Whether you're preparing for technical interviews, exploring career options, or seeking guidance, 1:1 coaching gives you tailored support to reach your goals. This feature is available as a monthly subscription that will allow you to book 2 sessions per month with a coach. Essentially, you receive two credits per month that you can use to book Coaching sessions. More information on the Coaching landing page here!
Who can purchase the Coaching subscription?
Anyone can purchase this subscription, including free users and those with existing Plus, Pro, or All Access Pass subscriptions! If you have a subscription with Codecademy already, purchasing a Coaching subscription means you will have two different subscriptions with Codecademy that you will manage and use.
I already have a subscription with Codecademy. Do I get a discount on Coaching?
Coaching is an additional subscription, and no discounts will be provided for existing Pro, Plus, or All Access Pass subscriptions.
Is there a free trial for the Coaching subscription?
No, there are no free trials for this subscription type.
How much does the Coaching subscription cost?
To see pricing, please see the checkout page here.
How do I manage or cancel my Coaching subscription?
You can manage or cancel your subscription from your Payment and Plan page on Codecademy. Cancelations will ensure your Coaching subscription does not renew further, but you will still have access to the sessions left in your current billing cycle.
Can I purchase more than two sessions per month or buy additional credits?
No, currently you cannot purchase more than two sessions per month or buy additional credits. This is a feature we hope to add in the future, though!
How do I book a Coaching session?
After purchasing the subscription, you’ll receive an email and see your available sessions on your Codecademy Dashboard as well, with a link to book. You can view all coach profiles, select a coach, and pick a date and time.
How far in advance can I book sessions?
Sessions can be booked up to 60 days in advance.
What happens if I don’t use my session credits by the end of the month?
Unused session credits do not roll over and will be forfeited.
If you find yourself at the end of your Coaching subscription month, we’d recommend using your remaining credits for this month and booking future sessions as they can be booked 60 days in advance. For example, I have one credit for a Coaching session that I did not use but will expire in two days. I should use that credit to book a session before it expires in two days to ensure I don’t lose it, but the session I book with that credit can be up to 60 days out!
Can I book individual sessions without a subscription?
No, you must have a Coaching subscription to book sessions.
How long is each session?
Each session is 45-60 minutes, depending on the type of session selected
How do I choose a coach?
You can view coach profiles, including their credentials and LinkedIn pages, from the booking interface.
How do I join a session?
You can join your session from the Codecademy Dashboard. Sessions are held on Zoom.
Can I cancel or reschedule a session?
Yes, you can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before the session is set to begin. This will be completed from your Codecademy Dashboard.
What happens if I miss a session or am late?
If you miss a session or are late, you forfeit the session, and one session credit is deducted.
What if my coach doesn’t show up?
If your coach is a no-show, you’ll be able to reschedule the session.
