EvolvLearn — Research Training for African Scientists

Last updated: November 2026

Payment options

The payment options available for a course are shown on that course's enrollment page. A place is confirmed after the required payment has been received.

Installment payments are available only for cohorts that explicitly offer them. If a cohort offers installments, the installment terms below apply. Otherwise, the full course fee must be paid as shown at checkout.

Paying in full

If you pay the full course fee before the course starts and later withdraw, the refund is based on when EvolvLearn receives your written withdrawal request:

During Month 1 of the course: 90% of the course fee paid.
During Month 2 of the course: 60% of the course fee paid.
During Month 3 of the course: 30% of the course fee paid.

Month 1 runs from the cohort start date through the day before its first monthly anniversary. Month 2 runs from that anniversary through the day before the second monthly anniversary. Month 3 runs from the second anniversary through the course end date. The refund tier is based on the date we receive your written withdrawal request. This refund schedule applies only to students who paid the full course fee upfront; it does not apply to installment payments.

Paying by installments

Pay 50% of the course fee before the course starts to confirm your place. This applies to all currencies (NGN, USD, GBP, EUR).
After five weeks, EvolvLearn will remind you that the remaining 50% is due by the end of Week 6. The deadline is 11:59 PM WAT (West Africa Time, UTC+1) on the date stated in your cohort information.
If the balance is not paid by the deadline, you will be removed from the cohort before Week 7. Your access to course sessions and materials will end.
You cannot rejoin that same cohort after removal, even if you offer to pay later.
The first 50% is not refundable if you withdraw or are removed from the cohort.
If you withdraw or are removed, the unpaid second 50% is waived. You will not be charged for it.
Discount codes and promotional offers are not applicable to installment payments. They apply only to full upfront payments.

Technical payment failures

If your second installment payment fails due to a documented technical issue (such as a card decline, bank error, or processor outage), you have 48 hours from the Week 6 deadline to contact EvolvLearn with evidence of the failed transaction.

You must contact us proactively within this window. EvolvLearn will review your case and, if the failure is verified as technical, work with you to complete the payment before access is revoked. This exception does not apply to payments not attempted by the deadline.

To report a technical failure, email evolvngo@gmail.com with your transaction reference and a screenshot or proof of the failed payment.

Course materials and module access

Course materials may be released progressively. For cohorts using module-by-module access, the next module becomes available after you complete the required lessons and activities in the current module. The cohort information or learning platform will explain the completion requirements. Access to course sessions and materials ends if you are removed from the cohort for non-payment.
