Every ACB course is free to study. This page explains how minimal certification fees — paid only when you earn your credential — help maintain the platform. ACB is an endeavor of Build Champions, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation championing education through technology.
The American Certification Board (ACB) is an endeavor of Build Champions, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation. Course training is always free. Certification fees (shown on each track in our catalog) are minimal programme revenue — not commercial sales. They help keep ACB maintained and fund free legal information, free educational resources, and community support. No certification fee revenue is distributed to shareholders, investors, or as personal profit.
Courses are free. Exact certification fees are shown on each job track in the certifications catalog. Common tiers include:

No. It is a minimal programme fee when you earn your credential — not payment for the course itself, which is free. It is not a tax-deductible donation. Tax-deductible donations can be made separately on our Donate page.
Course training stays free for every learner. A modest certification fee — only when you earn your credential — helps keep the platform maintained and funds free legal information and education resources for communities that need them.
Refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. See our Refund Policy or contact us for details.
Donations are separate from course fees and go directly toward expanding our free legal information and education programmes.
