FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How Are The Lessons Delivered?

The courses are divided into individual lessons and can be accessed on the community's Freemasonry101 course page. These are text-based, but some classes might have additional videos and downloadable study guides attached to them (such as the ritual memorization course).

When Will I Get Access To The Courses?

You will get immediate access to all eight courses right after your purchase, and you will have unlimited and unrestricted access to all of them. My suggestion would be to do them as they are laid out, but you can pick and choose which courses you want to do.

Can I Ask Questions?

Yes, below each lesson, you can leave a comment or ask questions about the topic covered. Other community members (or an instructor) will be there to assist you.

Are There Any "Masonic Secrets" Revealed?

Even though these courses are very in-depth, there are no Masonic secrets revealed whatsoever. We remember our obligation, and we take it very seriously. Taking these courses won't make you a Freemason either.
