The Linux Foundation THRIVE-ONE subscription plan grants you access to:
- Any self-paced e-learning course hosted on the Linux Foundation platform, for the subscription term length (the “Term”) set forth at the time of purchase. If you purchase a monthly plan, your Term is one month from the date of purchase, whereas the purchase of an annual plan results in a one year Term.
- (Annual subscription only) Access to SkillCred exams which allows for one (1) attempt at each SkillCred exam during your first year.
- By purchasing a THRIVE-ONE Annual or Monthly subscription, you also agree to the terms and conditions included here (link) and included below.
Exclusions: The following content is not available through THRIVE- Certifications, instructor-led courses; and FINOPS courses, bundles and certs.
You understand and agree that at the end of each applicable Term we will automatically process your payment, and renew your subscription plan for a period equal to the Term. SkillCred exams are only available for a period of one-year so any and all SkillCred exams must be taken during the first, one-year period.
You may request a Subscription* Refund if BOTH the following conditions are met:
(a) Your subscription purchase was less than three (3) business days ago AND
(b) You have not yet scheduled the certification exam and you have not completed any eLearning course or SkillCred Exam.
If you are eligible for a refund (per the Exam Refund Policy), please login with your LF Account to https://trainingsupport.linuxfoundation.org and select your request type from the categories provided.
Subscriptions can be canceled at any time during the Term.
There will be no refunds if you cancel prior to the end of your subscription term.
For example, if you have a monthly subscription, renewing on the 1st of the month, and you cancel on the 15th of a month, you will continue to have access until the end of the month and not receive a prorated refund for half of the month.
*If your subscription was purchased as a “bundle” with a Certification exam – the Certification exam will also be canceled and refunded.
