FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
- Is Layer House Art an accredited school?
- No. We are a non-credit, avocational online school. We do not grant degrees, diplomas or professional certifications.
- Do I need to know how to draw already?
- No. Every course is written for adult beginners. Procreate from Zero assumes you have never opened the app.
- What equipment do I need?
- An iPad that supports Apple Pencil, a compatible Apple Pencil, and Procreate — a one-time App Store purchase sold separately. We are not affiliated with Savage Interactive or Apple.
- Is there a subscription?
- No. Self-paced courses are one-time purchases and live cohorts are paid per cohort. Nothing renews automatically.
- What is your refund policy?
- Self-paced courses: full refund within 14 days. Live cohorts: 100% if you withdraw 7+ days before the start, 50% through the first session, then a one-time transfer. 100% if we cancel. Full policy.
- How do live cohorts work?
- Zoom sessions in Pacific Time with up to 12 students. Cameras optional, auto-captions on, recordings available to your cohort for 60 days.
- Will this help me get a job or earn money from art?
- We teach drawing for personal growth and make no promises about employment, commissions or income. Results depend on your own practice.
- How long do I keep access to a course?
- For as long as the course is offered. If we retire one, you get at least 12 months' notice by email.
- Are lessons captioned?
- Yes — edited captions and a transcript on every video lesson. See our accessibility statement.
- Is there an age requirement?
- Courses are for adults 18+. Ages 16–17 may take self-paced courses with a parent or guardian purchasing. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
