We don't want to leave you hanging, so let's walk through what's going to happen!
Click on the Enrol Now button, and choose the course you wish to be a part of. You'll be directed to a payment page where you sign up to the cohort of your choice.
You can do this right away or later (but the sooner the better!) - create your account on the HEX Ed digital platform so you never miss out on any notification!
You'll receive an email from the HEX team inviting you to join our community as well as cohort group chat. We'll walk you through how to access all the benefits you get.
It's very likely that you've joined the cohort early (it fills up fast!), so take your time to hangout with the HEX team. Join us at various events we host or cohost with other awesome organisations like Startup VIC, Early Career, Startmate, Accelerator, and more.
Around a week before your cohort starts, we'll invite you to come to the kickoff (maybe in person if we're in the same location). This kickoff is like an orientation day where you'll learn what to expect.
The day is here! You'll get access to your HEX Unit and start your journey of discovery!
Once you've completed your HEX Ed Pro program, you will also get a graduation ceremony, fitting for the next future leader like yourself. It is a part of your program and is 100% remote, so everyone in your cohort can join.
And if you need more than the online graduation ceremony, how about doing it in Bali? Meet your cohort in person and celebrate with your tribe. Join the leadership program or take a break - your ceremony, your way.
Since 2017, HEX is backed by awesome universities in the US, UK, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia. We're handpicked for projects by government agencies like Global Victoria and the City of Melbourne. We hang out and learn from tech giants like Culture Amp, Google, and Zendesk. You can trust us with any directions you want to take your career in.
You're invited to create the pathway of your dream.
With HEX, we bring the industry's exclusivity to you. Our programs are not only designed to enhance your mindset and skills, but we also connect you to the experience you need, the right mentor or, maybe even your future employer.
Anything you need to get you ready to take the next step!
Do not worry, here are some questions we always get for our program.
The HEX Ed Pro costs AUD$ 1190 per Unit (you can pick one out of five HEX Units available). Bundle deals are also available upon request.
You might also be eligible for funding if you are at university. View our list of current available funding here.
This is NOT a financial or tax advice. We recommend speak to an accountant or do your own research on this.
Information from ATO.gov.au You can claim a deduction for self-education expenses if the education relates to your employment activities.
You can claim a deduction for a self-education expense on HEX Ed Pro program if, at the time you incur the expense, it has a sufficient connection to earning income from your employment activities.
Self-education has a sufficient connection to earning your employment income if it either:
- maintains or improves the specific skills or knowledge you require in your employment activities
- results in, or is likely to result in, an increase in your income from your employment activities.
Your employment activities are the duties and tasks expected of you to perform your job and are usually set out in your duty statement.
We have over $1 million AUD in funding from various universities who are able to sponsor or subsidise your program cost. View our list of current available funding here.
Our application process is designed to be as quick as possible and takes less than 2 minutes. HEX Ed Pro works like a school term - you can join anytime prior to the application close date and you'll start on the kickoff date. Scroll up to see our 'step-by-step' section to learn more.
Yes! As HEX, we only care about P/F for the course!
However, if you are taking HEX Ed Pro as an elective, we need to consider your University's requirements. Most Universities are happy with Pass/Fail, but if yours need a number grade, we can easily provide it.
We don't believe in exams, so assessments (which we call checkpoints) have been designed to be practical so we can equip you with the right mindset, skillset, and toolset!
Our checkpoints, regardless of the unit, can range from reflective or research focussed (i.e. asking you a series of questions so you can explore your relationship/attitude/behavior with money and set some financial goals), and others will be practical (i.e. creating a business plan or completing a business case project).
Each checkpoint will be graded by our team of assessors, so you will get feedback as you progress through the course. Checkpoints are a hurdle requirement and are graded in P/F. You will be required to submit all checkpoints within the program dates in order to receive your credit. (That's about 5-6 checkpoints in 9 weeks ish.)
Yes! HEX Ed Pro comes with a global transcript from an Australian university, however you'll need to check with your own university about how much credit you can get, and which subjects you can get it for. We recommend you get in touch with our team at hello@startwithhex.com, who will be able to help you navigate this with your course advisor.
This can happen! If you have any suggestions of when is a better time for you and why, let us know at hello@startwithhex.com. Or, if you're okay with no academic credit, join HEX Ed Go instead so you can have a completely asynchronous and self-paced experience!
That's the beauty of HEX Ed Pro, you will not get left behind! We are moving as one unit. We've got you.
Short answer: Yes. However, as you will be working across multiple cohorts, we just have to make sure that you will be able to catch up with the course flow. Get in touch with our team at hello@startwithhex.com to see what we can do!
Yes! As part of the HEX Ed Pro promise, you will receive 20% off any of HEX programs including HEX International.
Great question! Here is what's different between the two:
- HEX Ed Go is self-paced, whereas Pro is cohort-driven over 8 weeks
- HEX Ed Go is not assessed and has automatic checkpoints, whereas Pro is assessed and marked
- HEX Ed Go does not allow you to receive academic credit, whereas Pro gives you credit
- HEX Ed Go gives you optional Slack access but no 1:1 mentoring, whereas Pro gives you 1:1 mentoring and access to live & online events
- HEX Ed Go is priced at $290/unit (or, $1450 for 5 units), whereas Pro is priced at $790/unit (or, $3950 for 5 units)
