About Lenicle
What is Lenicle?
Lenicle is a learning platform where academies, training centres and individual tutors sell their programs, and students enroll, learn and earn certificates. We handle the payments, the classroom and the payouts.
Who teaches the programs?
Each program belongs to an academy, shown on the program's page. Lenicle Academy is Lenicle's own school; the others are run independently by their owners.
For students
How can I learn on Lenicle?
A program can be offered in up to three ways, each with its own price: self-paced lessons, lessons with live online classes, or lessons with both online and in-person classes. The program page shows which of them it offers.
What is the application fee?
Some programs charge a one-time application fee. It is shown next to the price, paid once with your first payment, and is never reduced by a promo code.
Can I pay in parts?
Where the academy allows it, yes. You choose how much of the price to pay first and pay the balance later from your dashboard.
Do I get a certificate?
Programs that award a certificate issue it when you complete them. Anyone can check a certificate is genuine on our verification page.
What if something goes wrong with a program?
Report the problem from the program in your dashboard. The academy answers first, and we step in if it is not settled. A refund needs serious grounds, such as what was taught not matching what the program promised; then the money is sent back less the payment processor's fee, and your access to the program ends.
For academies
Who can open an academy?
Anyone: a school, a training centre, a company or a single tutor. Opening an academy is free and takes a few minutes.
What does Lenicle charge?
There is no monthly fee. The commission is 3% of a sale when the student came through a link carrying your academy’s code, or 10% when the student found your program on Lenicle Discover, our Explore page, categories and search. The first program each of your first 10 students buys is free of commission. The payment processor's fee is also taken from each sale.
Can other people sell my programs for me?
Yes. Put a program on the affiliate marketplace and set the fee you will pay, from 15% to 60% of what the buyer pays. Anyone on Lenicle can then promote it with their own link, and you pay only when a buyer they brought pays you. You can also give a promoter a promo code of their own.
When do I get paid?
Self-paced sales are released 14 days after payment. For programs with live classes, 30% is released 7 days after the cohort starts and the rest when it ends. Released money can be withdrawn to your bank account at any time.
Earning with Lenicle
How do I earn as an affiliate?
Anyone with a Lenicle account and a confirmed email can be an affiliate. Pick a program on the affiliate marketplace, get your own link and share it. If someone follows it and buys within a day, you earn from that payment and from every later payment they make for it: at least 5%, shown on each program.
What is a promoter?
An academy can give you your own promo code and pay you a percentage of every sale made with it. The academy sets the percentage.
How do I get my earnings?
Affiliate and promoter earnings go to your Earnings balance in the portal. They are released once the sale can no longer be refunded, and you withdraw them to your bank account.
