Before you buy

Questions about enrolling.

How do I get the CAAXDE step-up price, alumni credit or masterclass credit?

Choose “CAUXPDE graduate step-up” above if you’ve finished CAUXPDE; we check your certificate before your start date. Graduates of CADME, CASME, CASMME or CADSE get a $500 alumni credit, and if you bought a one-day masterclass in the last 3 months, its $489.99 fee comes off. For either credit, email godigital@id.ac.nz and we’ll invoice you the lower price.

Can CAAXDE be invoiced to my employer or paid with a purchase order?

Yes. Email godigital@id.ac.nz with your name, your employer’s name and billing contact, and any purchase order number, and we’ll send the invoice. No interest-free instalments are offered.

How do team rates for CAAXDE work?

Teams of 3 to 5 from one employer get 10% off each seat ($4,310.10 + GST each), and teams of 6 or more get 15% off ($4,070.65 + GST each). Teams of 8 or more can run a private cohort with their own product as the project, quoted on request. Team bookings are invoiced: email godigital@id.ac.nz with the names of the people taking part.

What happens after I pay for CAAXDE?

You get an email confirming your place and your week 0 date. In week 0 you join the tool set-up clinic, get paid access to Figma, Claude and ChatGPT, receive your project brief and have your first one-to-one mentor session. You also get the calendar you use to book live sessions with your mentor: unlimited Monday to Friday, with limited weekend slots.

What do I need ready before CAAXDE week 0?

A laptop that runs Figma, a reliable internet connection, and about 10 hours a week in your calendar for the 8 weeks. If you want to use your employer’s product as your project, get their agreement before week 1.

What happens to my Figma, Claude and ChatGPT access after the 8 weeks?

The paid access IDNZ provides ends after week 8. Your files and your work are yours to keep, and you can carry on with the free plans or your own subscription. Tool drop sessions carry on for 12 months.
