Gradual is designed as a progressive semester programme, not a collection of unrelated videos or certificates.
You do not move forward because time passed. You move forward
because you demonstrated the competency.

Manage conflicting interests and reach a practical agreement while protecting the relationship.

When you do not pass

You review the result, target weaker criteria, practise and attempt the challenge again.

The pilot may suit you if
You want development that requires active participation.
- You are currently enrolled at university
- You want structured workplace-skill development
- You are willing to practise and retry
- You want measurable feedback
- You want evidence rather than attendance-only recognition
It may not suit you if
You only want passive content or an instant certificate.
Gradual is designed around applied challenges, assessment and progress standards.
Student questions
What you should know before joining.
Operational details will continue to be refined during pilot development.
Is Gradual an internship? +
No. Gradual is a performance-based career-readiness programme built around training, practical challenges, assessment and evidence.
Is Gradual a tutoring platform? +
No. Tutoring primarily helps students understand academic content. Gradual focuses on applying and demonstrating workplace competencies.
Do I automatically receive recognition? +
No. Recognition should be earned only after completing the challenge and reaching the required passing standard.
What happens if I do not pass? +
You receive feedback, practise the weaker areas and retry the challenge when the programme allows.
Are challenges assessed entirely by AI? +
Gradual does not currently claim fully automated assessment. AI may support scenarios, practice and preliminary feedback, while final assessment processes remain structured.
Does Gradual guarantee employment? +
No. Gradual aims to improve workplace readiness and help students demonstrate competencies. It does not guarantee internships, recruitment or employment.
Can I join online? +
The proposed model includes online and in-person delivery options. Final pilot availability will depend on programme design and capacity.
How long is the programme? +
Gradual is planned as a semester-based progressive programme. Exact duration, schedule and workload remain to be confirmed.
