FAQs

I have no technical background. Is this for me?

Yes. If you can use Gmail, you can do this course. We start from zero.

I’ve been out of work for years. Is it too late?

No. Most of these tools are under three years old. Everyone is learning them now.

Will this get me a job or clients?

We can’t promise either. We make sure you leave with proof of your skills: a portfolio, a freelance profile and interview practice. Those are what open doors.

What if I miss a class?

Recordings go up within 24 hours, and your pod helps you catch up.

Do I need to pay for AI tools?

No. Every exercise uses free versions.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Attend Week 1 and do the exercise. If it’s not right for you, get your ₹5,000 back.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. After the deposit, pay the balance in two parts.

How is this different from AI MasterClass?

AI MasterClass teaches you to build AI with code. Restart teaches you to use AI to earn, with no code. Many people start here.

Your break is a story,not a gap.

Twelve weeks from now you could have a portfolio, a freelance profile and the vocabulary to talk about AI like someone who uses it every day.
