Succeed in Your Thesis: Mindset and Method
Your commitment
Doctoral Compass is in no way obliged to do the work on my behalf, is not responsible for my results, and is not required to refund amounts paid if I disengage. I also understand that materials and recordings remain available for 6 months after the cohort ends, after which they are removed.
Frequently asked questions
I am just starting my PhD. Is this program for me?
Yes, it is the ideal moment. Module 1 gives you, in a few hours, what most PhD candidates discover after a year of trial and error.
I am in my third year and stuck. Is it still useful?
Yes. Module 2 is built for exactly that situation: naming the block, understanding it, and leaving with a concrete plan to move again.
Who teaches the program?
Dr. Tahar Harkat anime le module 1 (méthode) et Dr. Saadia Benmoussa le module 2 (santé mentale).
What if I cannot attend live?
Every session is recorded and available for 3 months. Attending live is better for the Q&A, but it is not required.
Is there a certificate?
Yes. A certificate of completion is sent automatically on the cohort's closing day to everyone who is up to date with their payments. It states the number of hours and the dates.
