What’s the difference between the once-off and monthly plans?
The once-off payment gives lifetime access to a single term’s content.
Monthly plans give access to all 4 terms but only while your subscription is active.
Is there any difference in features between the plans?
All plans include concept videos, example videos, video memos, and emailed progress reports. The main difference is access duration and term coverage.

Yes. Both CAPS (DBE) and IEB monthly plans give full access to all 4 terms of content while subscribed.
Can I cancel the monthly subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel the CAPS (DBE) or IEB monthly plan at any time. You’ll keep access until the end of your current billing cycle.
