New Names: Foundation Training, Job Application DFY, and Why We Changed Them
Two of our programmes have new names, and two web addresses changed with them. Nothing about the training, the fee or the certificate has changed. Here is exactly what moved and why.
If you have a bookmark, a receipt or a WhatsApp message from us with an old link in it, read this one. It is short.
What changed
Stages 1 to 4 are now the Remote Job Foundation Training. They were previously called Mastery Training. The web address moved from /masterytraining/ to /foundationtraining/.
Stage 5 is now Job Application DFY. It was previously called Get A Remote Job. The web address is now /jobapplication/ — it moved from /getaremotejob/ and was shortened again on 18 August, from /job-application-dfy/ to the plainer /jobapplication/.
Old links still work. They redirect to the new pages automatically, so nothing you have already saved is dead.
What did not change
Not the modules. Not the fee. Not the certificate. Not your cohort, your login, your access, or anything already paid for. If you are enrolled, there is nothing for you to do and nothing to re-purchase. The four stages contain exactly what they contained last week.
Why bother, then
Because the old names described what we sold rather than what you get, and after a while that starts to mislead people at the point where it matters most: choosing.
Stages 1 to 4 are a foundation. You build a remote operating system, a toolkit, an async communication practice and a global-ready set of career assets. What you are laying down is the floor everything else stands on. Calling that "Mastery" oversold the beginning and undersold the finish — mastery is what you have after you have used these things in a real role for a year, not what you have on day twenty.
Stage 5 is the opposite case. "Get A Remote Job" sounds like a promise about an outcome, and outcomes are not a thing anyone can hand you. What Stage 5 actually is, is a setup: we source the roles, we run the applications with you, we prepare the interviews. It is the machinery of a job hunt, built and operated on your behalf. Job Application DFY says that. The old name said something we cannot honestly guarantee.
One consequence worth naming
The word "Mastery" has moved. It used to sit on Stages 1 to 4 and now sits on Stage 5. If you are reading older material of ours — a workbook, an old post, a WhatsApp broadcast from July — "Mastery" in that document means the foundation stages, not Stage 5. We are updating what we can. Where you see a conflict, the site is correct and the older document is not.
The stage names themselves are untouched
Stage 3 is still Async Communication Mastery. Stage 4 still covers Global Job Search Mastery. Those are module titles inside the curriculum and they have not moved anywhere.
If anything looks wrong, or a link sends you somewhere odd, tell us and we will fix it the same day. See the Foundation Training or see Job Application DFY.
