Finding and buying a course

Where to browse the school's courses, programmes, live sessions and downloads, what the course page shows, how checkout works step by step, coupons, the learning cart, and where your purchase appears afterwards.

For:Students5 min read9 sectionsUpdated 11 October 2026

Everything the school sells is listed on its website and, if the school turns it on, under Explore & enroll in your dashboard. You buy (or enrol for free) on the checkout page, signed in as a student.

Where to browse

  • School website: the Courses, Bundles and Live Sessions pages (and Downloads, if the school sells files). The dashboard menu on a phone lists the website pages too.
  • Explore & enroll in your portal: tabs for Self-Paced Online, Live Zoom Classes and On-Campus Classes, with search, category, Any price / Free / Paid and sorting (Recommended, Starting soonest, price, A–Z). A course opens its details page, where you see the outline, the instructor, reviews and how to enroll.

The course page

  • A description, what you will learn, requirements and who the course is for.
  • The curriculum. Lessons marked as previews can be watched before buying with Preview lesson.
  • A snapshot with level, language, duration and whether there is a certificate ("Yes, on completion").
  • The price, or the choice of prices when the course has several pricing options.
  • Enroll now opens checkout. Add to cart adds the course to your learning cart instead.

Checking out, step by step

  1. Step 1: Choose Enroll now

    On the course, programme, live session or download page.

  2. Step 2: Sign in if asked

    The checkout shows Sign in to continue checkout with an email code (and Google, if the school offers it). New here? Create your account first.

    Read the guide
  3. Step 3: Pick a pricing option

    Only when the product offers more than one ("Choose pricing"). For a live programme, also pick the batch under Select batch / cohort.

  4. Step 4: Apply a coupon (optional)

    Type it in Discount coupon and choose Apply. The new total is shown: "Coupon applied. New total: …".

  5. Step 5: Choose a payment method and pay

    Online methods take you to the payment provider and back. Bank transfer needs proof and a school check. Free products show Access free.

  6. Step 6: Start learning

    You are enrolled as soon as the payment is confirmed (or approved, for bank transfers), and you usually get an enrolment email.

Pricing options

At NSDP the fee is shown per month (for example PKR 2,000 / month) but the whole course fee is paid in advance, in one payment: the monthly fee × the months the course runs, as checkout shows (Paid in advance: PKR 6,000 for 3 months (one payment)). Some products have more than one price (for example full payment and a discounted plan). The one you pick is the one you pay. Switching to another option removes an applied coupon, so apply it again afterwards. Recurring (subscription) plans can't be bought yet: the checkout says Recurring pricing plans are configured, but recurring checkout will be activated in the next billing step.
