How plans work inside Smart Skills Academy
I wanted to take a moment to explain how the different plans work in the community, so everyone knows what to expect and where things live.
Nothing complicated โ€“ just clarity ๐Ÿ’›
๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ (๐—™๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ)
This is the heart of the community and will always remain active.
Standard members get:
  • Weekly learning posts and practical skill tips
  • Friendly support and encouragement from me and the community
  • Confidence-building help for everyday tech skills
  • Regular free mini courses and presentations across Word, Excel, PowerPoint and AI
Free content isnโ€™t a one-off โ€“ something new will always be happening here.
Some classroom content may be available for a limited time, so itโ€™s worth popping back to the community frequently if youโ€™re on the free plan.

Premium is for people who want a bit more continuity, confidence, and early access โ€“ without going all-in.
Premium members get:
  • Everything included in Standard
  • Early access to weekly mini courses and presentations before theyโ€™re released more widely
  • Weekly โ€œYou Ask, Gemma Answersโ€ posts
The Ask Gemma posts are for judgement and direction โ€“ things like:
  • โ€œDoes this presentation make sense?โ€
  • โ€œAm I over engineering this formula?โ€
  • โ€œHow can I improve the flow of this document?โ€
  • โ€œWhat prompt shall I use to get the outcome with AI?โ€
Theyโ€™re about clarity and reassurance rather than step-by-step how-tos.
Premium members also donโ€™t need to worry about content disappearing after a window โ€“ anything released early stays available to them indefinitely.
๐—ฉ๐—œ๐—ฃ
VIP is the full learning pathway and ongoing support.
VIP members get:
  • Everything included in Premium
  • Full access to all associate-level courses for Excel, Word, PowerPoint and AI. Course information and samples are available at smartskillsacademy.net
  • Access to Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint tests. Course information and samples are available at smartskillsacademy.net
  • Live weekly AI training calls, with recordings included.
VIP is designed for people who want structured learning, live sessions, and long-term access to everything in one place.
๐—” ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€, ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜
You might notice that some classroom content:
  • appears for everyone for a period
  • later becomes level-based
  • or eventually lives only in Premium or VIP
This is intentional.
It allows:
  • free members to regularly access new content
  • engaged members to unlock more through participation
  • Premium and VIP members to get early access and ongoing availability
There will always be free content visible in the community โ€“ youโ€™ll never join and find nothing happening.
If youโ€™re ever unsure which plan is right for you, stay where you are. This community is about confidence and progress, not pressure. Unsure what the levels mean? Read this post.
And if you do decide to upgrade later, everything will still make sense. Click here to view plan options.
