Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior card making experience to take an on-demand class?

Not at all. Each lesson walks you through techniques, making these classes beginner-friendly while offering fresh inspiration for experienced crafters.

How do on-demand classes work?

On-demand classes feature pre-recorded video lessons ranging from 1 to 10 lessons focused on specific techniques or creative themes. Once enrolled, you can log into your Altenew Academy account and learn at your own pace.

Is there a set schedule I need to follow?

No. On-demand classes are completely self-paced. You can pause, rewind, rewatch, and fit your crafting journey into your personal schedule whenever inspiration strikes.

You receive lifetime virtual access upon enrollment. The video lessons and downloadable resources stay in your Altenew Academy account so you can revisit them whenever you like.
