Contact support
Do I need to already own the software to take a VikadLearn course?+

No — every course ships with sample datasets and a free-trial installation guide for the software it covers. You do not need a paid Surpac, Micromine, or Datamine licence to complete the coursework and earn the certificate.

How long do I have access to a course after purchase?+

Course access is lifetime for individual purchases. Team seats follow the plan's term (typically 12 months, renewable).

Are the certificates recognised in industry?+

Certificates are issued by Vikad Mining Solutions and carry a verifiable code. They are increasingly recognised by West African mining operators and consulting firms — we're actively working with professional bodies to formalise accreditation.

Can I download videos for offline viewing?+

No. To protect instructors' content, videos stream with dynamic learner watermarking and cannot be downloaded. Downloadable resources — worksheets, sample datasets, cheat sheets — are attached to each lesson.

What payment methods do you accept?+

In Ghana we support Mobile Money (MTN, Vodafone, AirtelTigo) via Moolre, plus Visa and Mastercard via Paystack. International learners can pay by card. Corporate teams can request invoicing.

How do I become an instructor?+

Apply through the Teach on VikadLearn page. Applications are reviewed by Vikad Mining Solutions and prioritise practising professionals with production experience in the software they want to teach.
