❓ Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve Got Answers – Because You Deserve to Know What You’re Signing Up For

  • Who’s this for?
    If you’re in HR, leading a team, or trying to break into comp — this is for you. Whether you’re building your skills or leveling up your strategy game, you’re in the right place.
  • Do I need to buy materials?
    Nope. Templates, tools, guides — it’s all included. No extra costs. No surprise upsells.
  • What if I miss a session?
    No worries. Every session is recorded and available for 90 days. Catch up when it works for you.

  • Are the instructors legit?
    Very! Dr. Johnson has built comp strategies at Red Ventures, the Dallas Mavericks, and the NBA. You’re learning from someone who’s done the work — not just talked about it.
  • Are there office hours?
    Yes — and they’re fee-based. You can book 1:1 time for personalized support if you want it.
  • Is there a community?
    Absolutely. You’ll get access to a private space inside the Black In HR App where you can connect with your cohort, get feedback, ask questions, and share wins. It’s all in the app.
  • What do I get when I finish?
    A digital certification badge via Credly and a Capstone Project that proves you know your stuff. No fluff. Just receipts.
  • Do I have to show up live?
    Yep — both sessions are part of the full experience. But if life gets in the way, the replays are yours for 90 days.
