Programmes are labelled by both educational stage—Foundation, Applied Studio, Practitioner or Advanced Study—and actual maturity such as active, controlled beta, developing or future.
Clear controls behind the learner experience.
These standards explain how the Academy approaches access, claims, support, evidence, completion, data and operational separation between education, services and other D’Key branches.
What the Academy commits to.
Interest, review, agreement, payment evidence and access remain distinct steps.
Completion recognition follows the specified work and manual review.
No guaranteed income, rankings, enquiries, healing, professional status or regulated-award implication.
Academy certificates are completion acknowledgements.
Unless a programme explicitly states otherwise with verified external approval, Academy certificates are internal educational records. They are not degrees, regulated qualifications, professional licences or claims of external accreditation.
Programme-specific lessons, action tasks and evidence must be completed.
The learner confirms the accuracy and ownership of submitted work.
The Academy checks the defined completion route before recognition.
Recognition states what was completed without overstating status.
Course support, not autonomous professional advice.
Ask Nello is being developed as a controlled Academy companion for navigation, reflection, workbook organisation and course-grounded prompts. Live AI, persistent learner storage, external actions and unrestricted advice remain disabled until approved controls are in place.

- Escalate uncertainty to human review.
Excluded direction
- No legal, financial, medical or regulated professional advice.
- No promises of outcomes, certification or access decisions.
- No autonomous payments, enrolment, record changes or external actions.
- No use of unapproved sources as Academy authority.
One ecosystem; clearly separated responsibilities.
D’Key Academy is the education and training arm of D’Key Digital. D’Key Digital done-for-you services remain a separate service lane with separate scope, terms, records and product accounting. D’Key Civic is a separate community-delivery initiative; D’Key Association is a separate private membership body; D’Key Advanced Studies is a future advanced-study initiative; and the Republic of D’Key is a private constitutional, cultural and stewardship framework. No Academy participation automatically creates rights, membership or service engagement in another branch.
One status language across the Academy.
Course numbers identify the six Practical Capability Foundations. Educational stage and availability status are separate controls. D’Key Method is governed as a separate specialist practitioner pathway.
