Indiana launch planning · owner review
This recommended package ladder positions NDavis Academy as a premium, practical licensing school without trying to win on price alone. The offers are structured for launch preparation and are not available for purchase until the school, course, terms, and delivery are approved.
Commercial control: “Recommended” does not mean adopted. Nicole must approve the prices, services, capacity, payment terms, and refund bands; qualified Indiana review and regulator-dependent updates must occur before sale.
Market position
Premium value, not bargain-basement education

Recommended offer ladder
Each upgrade adds a real outcome—not decorative bonuses.
Course
Independent students who want the complete required education at a clear price.
PASS FIRST
The recommended package for students who want structured exam preparation and retention support.
Career Launch
Students who want to pass the exam and prepare to choose a brokerage and begin operating professionally.
Premier
High-support students who want personal accountability and an individualized readiness plan.
Margin strategy
The strongest exam-prep and retention tools sit one step above Course for only $100 more. This should become the primary enrollment target.
Use scheduled group clinics in Career Launch. Limit Premier seats by instructor capacity so private support remains profitable and deliverable.
Do not bundle postlicensing or continuing education until those courses are separately built and approved. They can become a future graduate upgrade.
Use an honest founding-student price, payment plans, or limited scholarships instead of training customers to wait for rotating discount codes.
State application, examination, fingerprint/background, association, brokerage, and MLS costs should never appear included unless NDavis actually pays them.
After approval, add separately approved postlicensing, CE, managing-broker, property-management, and career courses as the long-term revenue path.
Recommended draft
More student-friendly than the no-refund policies observed at some competitors
| Cancellation point | Proposed refund | Application rule |
|---|---|---|
| Within 3 calendar days of enrollment | 100% of tuition paid | Only if requested before more than 10% of required instruction is completed; separately accepted, delivered third-party items handled under their disclosed terms. |
| After 3 days and under 10% completed | 90% of tuition paid | School retains 10% as the proposed enrollment/administration amount. |
| 10% through 24.99% completed | 75% of tuition paid | Based on verified required instructional completion, not browser time. |
| 25% through 49.99% completed | 50% of tuition paid | Calculation and completion evidence provided with the decision. |
| 50% or more completed | No tuition refund | Exceptional documented circumstances may receive consistent administrative review. |
| School cancels or cannot deliver | 100% of unearned tuition | Includes a written calculation and any approved teach-out or transfer option. |
Legal-review gate
This is a recommended business policy, not a legal conclusion. The calculation must be tested against current Indiana requirements, consumer law, payment-plan terms, approved course delivery, and the exact enrollment agreement before adoption.
