Yoast SEO Academy FAQ

After purchasing a Yoast SEO Academy training course, you are sent a few separate emails:
– Your purchase receipt.
– Information about your newly created MyYoast account. (Only if you have never made a purchase with the email address you used at checkout before.)
– Proof of enrolment for what you have purchased.

Your account for Yoast SEO Academy and MyYoast is one and the same. Therefore, you will not need separate login details for MyYoast and Yoast SEO Academy. You may need to set a password if this is your first login or have forgotten your password.

You can access your courses via MyYoast or access your courses directly here.

Access your courses via MyYoast
Go to the Courses/Enrollments tab in MyYoast to find all courses that you have purchased yourself as well as all courses you are enrolled in. In the Courses/Progress tab you can access Yoast SEO Academy.

Access your courses directly
You can directly access your courses here.

To complete a course, you have to make sure all topics of that course are marked as complete. If a topic is followed by a quiz, you can mark a topic as complete by completing that quiz (and reaching a score of 80% or higher). If the topic is not followed by a quiz, you can mark the topic as complete by clicking the green “Mark complete” button at the bottom of the topic.

You can easily see which topics of a course are marked as complete in the course overview on the right-hand side. In the image below, the topic at the top is marked as complete (indicated with a check mark), and the other topics have not been marked as complete yet.
