SHANDOKA TRAINING
For students who draw

Draw a module. Get your course fee back.

This course needs illustrations, and some of the best will come from the people learning the material. Pass the certification, take on a group of drawings, and if we accept them we'll refund what you paid for the course. You keep the certificate either way.

Your reference code

Every set of drawings travels with a six-digit code so we can match your work to you. Yours is ------. It belongs to this browser and stays the same every time you come back. Write it down, and put it on anything you send us.

How it works

1 · Finish the course

The offer is for people who have passed, and it's a refund after you pass. You need to know the material to draw it correctly.

2 · Tell us you're in

Send us your reference code and which module you want. We reply with the art details for that group: what each figure has to show, the technical points it must get right, the aspect ratio, and the file name each one needs.

3 · Draw the group

A group is normally one module's worth, so one person draws the set and it looks like it belongs together. Hand-drawn is welcome, and getting it right matters more than polish.

4 · Send them in

Submit the finished set through the upload portal. Every file named as the brief specifies, with your reference code on the submission.

5 · We review them

We check each drawing against what the brief said it had to get right. If something is off, we'll tell you what and you get a chance to fix it. Revisions are a normal part of the process.

6 · Accepted, and refunded

Once the group is accepted we refund your course fee to the card you paid with. Your drawings go up on the site with your credit on them.

What "accepted" means

The refund depends on the drawings being accepted, so here's what that comes down to: whether a technician can work from the picture. Artistic style doesn't decide it.

Technically correct

Each brief lists what the drawing has to get right: the part, the orientation, the connector, the failure being shown. A beautiful drawing with the cable routed wrong teaches someone the wrong thing.

Readable where it's used

Most figures are read on a phone in a workshop, and some get printed on a bench card in black and white. Strong contrast, no detail that disappears at thumbnail size.

Complete as a group

The refund is for a finished group. We can still use and credit a partial set, but the refund needs the whole group.

Yours to give

Your own original work, drawn by you from scratch. You keep the right to show it in your portfolio, and we get the right to use it in the course and its materials.

Not sure you can draw well enough?

Ask anyway. Several of these figures are diagrams, like a labeled wiring path, a torque map or a comparison chart. A clear, careful diagram from someone who understands the system is worth more to us than a polished illustration.

Start a group

While we finish the upload portal, this opens an email with your reference code already in the subject line. Tell us which module you want and roughly when you could have it done.

Until the upload portal is live, send your drawings by email with the same reference code. They get the same review.
