## Questions

### Is this course about building AI video models?

No. It is for people who choose, buy or approve AI video tools for work. It teaches what you need to compare tools and read their terms, not how to write code or train models.

### Does the certificate show I can approve a tool for my company?

No. It is a certificate of completion from aivideogen.fyi and records that you passed the exam. It is not a licence, an accreditation or a legal opinion.

### Do the prices in the course stay current?

No. The lessons cite vendor pricing pages fetched on 2026-11-13. Prices and plan terms change; always confirm on the vendor's own page before you buy.
