How it works
From registering to a certificate
Five steps. The first takes about a minute, and you only do it once.
Register
Your phone number, an email address, your name, your country and your year of birth. A code goes to your email to confirm it is you.
Find a programme
Filter the catalogue by what you are looking for, where you are, and whether it runs online or in person. Each programme states who it is open to and when it closes.
Apply
Your name, country and age come from your profile. You answer only the extra questions that programme asks — usually a handful.
Attend
If you are accepted you join a cohort. You check in at each session with a code shown in the room, from your own phone, which is what turns attendance into a record rather than a claim.
Finish with proof
Complete the programme and you receive a certificate with a serial number. Anyone — an employer, a school — can check that number on this site and see it is genuine.
If you are under 18
You can register from 15. If you are under 18, the law in your country asks a parent or guardian to agree first, so registration takes one extra step.
You give their name and their own email address, they receive a code, and you enter it. It must be their address and their own phone number, not yours — an agreement you give yourself is not consent.
What it costs
Nothing. Registering is free and every programme listed here is free to apply to.
Nobody at AYC will ever ask you to pay to apply, to be shortlisted, or to receive a certificate. If a programme or a person asks you for money, tell us.
