Your questions.
Plain answers.

Own Your Academy is a dedicated academy platform for running an online teaching or coaching business under your own brand. Your students can take courses, book coaching, join discussions and attend events. Your team can manage their records and the work behind those programs. BOSYX sets it up for your business and provides the hosting and support you agree on.

Yes, it includes a learning management system: tools for organizing lessons, giving students access and tracking progress. It also covers coaching, bookings, community and other parts of running your business.

You get your own academy setup, and BOSYX helps build it around your business. We work with you on the courses, branding, customer access and other features you need before launch. It is a planned setup service, rather than an account you open and configure entirely on your own.

It is mainly for people already running courses, coaching, group programs, memberships or training. It is especially relevant when managing students and clients across several tools is becoming difficult.

It can run a first course, but it may be more than you need right now. If you want to launch one simple course yourself, a standard course platform may be enough. We can help you decide whether a more involved setup makes sense for your business.

It means an academy set up for your business, with your brand, your web address and a way of working that fits your team. It does not automatically mean you own the software code. Your agreement explains your rights to use the software and any custom work.

The main software is a BOSYX product. What you can use, change or own—including any custom work—is set out in your agreement. We should make those terms clear before you commit.

Your academy is set up to show your brand to students and members. We agree which pages, messages and other parts of the experience will carry your branding before we build them.

Yes. We can set up your academy at an agreed web address you own, such as academy.yourbusiness.com. Your students do not have to use ownyouracademy.co to reach it; that is our product website.

You receive a separate academy setup for your business. Your brand, programs and customer experience are set up for you. We explain where it will run and how it will be maintained in your proposal.

You can run courses, coaching, group programs, memberships, community, events and certificates. There are also tools for bookings, forms, public pages, payments, referrals, student records, messages, automatic follow-ups and reports. We agree which features you need and how to set them up before work starts.

Yes. For example, someone can take your course, fill in a form about their goals and book a coaching session as part of the same program. We set up the steps to suit how you teach and coach.

Yes. A cohort is a group that works through a program together. We can set up the program, schedule and student access to fit that way of teaching.

Yes. You can give members ongoing access to learning, discussions, events and other features you choose. We agree how joining, payments and access should work when we plan your academy.

Yes. Members can have a place to talk, share ideas and take part in discussions alongside their learning. We set up the community spaces your academy needs.

You can organize workshops, live classes, webinars and group sessions. We also need to agree how people will join the live session and which meeting or video service will be used.

Yes. You can issue certificates for completing your courses or programs. They are certificates from your academy; using Own Your Academy does not make them externally accredited.

Yes, public pages for your academy are part of the platform. We agree which pages you need and set them up with your branding and content. Those pages work alongside the student area.

Yes. The platform can help track referrals and the partners who bring you customers. We agree the rules and any commission setup for your business rather than applying one commission rate to every academy.

We can help you move from your current setup. First, we check what your existing services let you export and what you want to keep. Then we agree what we can copy, what needs rebuilding and what needs a different setup.

We review courses, student and customer records, enrollments, progress, coaching information, forms, community spaces, events and certificate records. What can move depends on what your old system makes available. Your proposal lists the work we have agreed to do.

Not always. Some information can be copied across, some parts need rebuilding, and some history may not be available from your current provider. We check this first so you know what the move will involve.

Often, no. Passwords are protected differently by different systems and usually cannot simply be copied across safely. Your students may need to activate their new account or set a new password. We plan that step with you.

Sometimes, but we need to check your current course platform, payment service and who owns the payment account. We also check what those services allow us to change. This is planned separately from moving course content; we do not copy card details or payment passwords.

There may be a period when access is interrupted. We plan the move around active students, coaching sessions, purchases and other important work, then agree when to switch over. We cannot promise that every move will happen without downtime.

Hosting is the service that keeps your academy online. BOSYX can provide or arrange it. Your proposal explains the hosting setup, what it includes and the ongoing costs.

You can ask us to review another hosting service. It needs to run the software safely and let us maintain and update it properly. We need to approve both the technical setup and the terms before using it.

Another hosting arrangement may be possible, but it needs to be reviewed and agreed. The standard arrangement is designed to make updates and maintenance easier. Your contract explains the terms that apply to your academy.

We work out how much space your files and content need, then include that in the hosting proposal. We do not publish one storage allowance for every academy. Video may be handled separately.

We can review the hosting as more people use your academy or you add more content. It may need more capacity, which can affect costs. We would agree any changes rather than assume growth is unlimited.

Usually, yes. It needs planning because a new web address can affect links, email, connected services and how students sign in. We review what needs changing before making the switch.

You can use video in your courses. Whether you upload it through the academy or through a video service depends on the setup we agree. We confirm how uploads, storage and playback will work before the build; unlimited video storage is not assumed.

A video needs to play well on different devices and internet connections. A video service can prepare different playback sizes and handle the traffic. That can be a better fit than treating videos like ordinary downloadable files.

Possibly. Tell us where your videos are stored and we will check whether that service can work with your academy. We confirm the setup before relying on it.

Not necessarily. Video storage and playback may use a separate service from your other files. Your proposal explains the setup and any separate costs.

That depends on the video service and settings used. Tell us whether you want downloads available, and we will confirm what your chosen setup supports.

Yes. We can connect an approved payment service so customers can buy your offers and receive the right access. We agree the payment service and purchase process during setup.

Your payment service determines how payments are collected and paid out. We need to confirm the account setup for your academy before describing exactly where funds go and who handles them.

If we use a payment account owned by your business, the transactions go through that account under the provider’s terms. We confirm whose account will be used when planning your payment setup.

Your proposal and agreement explain any charges from Own Your Academy. We have not published a standard sales-percentage policy. Your payment provider may also charge a fee for each transaction.

We need to check before promising that. It depends on your current platform, payment provider and account setup. We agree how recurring payments will be handled as part of planning the move.

Yes. We first look at what the existing software can do, then decide whether to change its settings, connect another service or build something extra. Any extra work is agreed before it starts.

Not every request will be a good fit. We check whether it can be built safely, works with the rest of the software and can be maintained. We may suggest a simpler solution or decline a change that would cause problems.

It may be able to. Tell us which tools you use and what you want them to share or do together. We check whether a safe, practical connection is possible and explain the work involved.

We plan custom work with future updates in mind. A major software change can still mean that a custom feature needs changes too. We consider that maintenance work before agreeing to build it.

The price depends on what we need to set up, move and build for your business, plus the hosting and support you need afterward. We start by understanding those needs, then give you a proposal that explains the work and costs before you decide.

Moving a few courses is a different job from bringing together coaching, memberships, years of student records and several business tools. We price the work your academy needs rather than give everyone the same setup.

You are paying for the work to set up and launch your academy: the agreed branding, features, content move and any extra development. There may also be ongoing hosting, maintenance, support and outside-service costs. Your proposal separates these so you can see what is included.

We can give you a plan after reviewing what needs to be built and moved. The amount of content, custom work and connected services affects the timing. There is no fixed launch time for every academy.

Your proposal explains when payments are due. We do not publish one payment schedule for every project.

If migration is part of your project, the proposal lists what we will move and the work included in the price. We check your current setup before agreeing to it.

The academy is designed to receive relevant updates to the main software. Your hosting and support agreement explains how those updates will be handled for your setup.

We review whether a new feature works with your academy and what is needed to add it. Some features may need setup work or carry an extra cost. New releases do not mean every future feature is automatically included.

BOSYX can take care of the technical maintenance under the standard arrangement. Your agreement explains what we handle and what remains your responsibility.

The hosting proposal explains how backups and recovery will be handled, including any limits. We do not publish one backup schedule or retention period for every academy.

We agree what help is included and how support works for your academy. Your agreement sets out those terms; we do not promise unlimited support or a standard response time on this website.

Yes, you can ask for extra features or connections after launch. We review the request, explain the work and cost, and agree it separately before starting.
