A proper education in psychology as a science: seven levels, 68 full lessons, 800 checked sources, every claim graded for evidence — taught through the situations you live in every day.
Most psychology online is either exciting and wrong, or accurate and abandoned by week three. You come away more confident and less accurate. This is the third thing: the real subject, taught properly, with every claim graded.
Separate what you saw from what you concluded.
Grade any psychology claim for how good the evidence actually is.
Open a psychology study and tell what it actually shows, who was studied, and how big the effect is.
Recognise the 31 most-repeated psychology myths, and say what the evidence actually supports.
Recognise influence and manipulation when it’s aimed at you, and hold your ground.
Analyse a real situation from several angles, recognise a pattern, and never mistake that for a diagnosis.
Eight short videos from the instructor: a welcome, one per level, a closing. Everything else is reading and doing: 68 full lessons, 22 applied lessons, 820 exam questions, 702 dictionary terms, 30 classic studies, 10 debates, 31 myths and 90 case studies — plus an AI tutor that answers only from the Academy’s own material and shows its sources.
Multiple high-quality studies, meta-analyses, or successful replications. Rely on it — still ask about context and effect size.
Reasonably supported, with real limitations: small effects, narrow contexts, correlational. A working assumption, not a law.
Interesting evidence exists; conclusions are still developing. Be curious. Don’t build on it yet.
Findings are inconsistent, replications have failed, or the field is arguing. Know both sides. Never state it as fact.
Widely repeated, poorly supported. Recognise it — this is where most “psychology facts” live.
Some of the most famous findings in psychology are taught as contested — with the modern re-evaluations named. If you can grade evidence, you’re protected from every myth that hasn’t been invented yet.
From what psychology is, to reading and critiquing research yourself. Nothing is unlocked by payment tier inside the Academy — only by order. Open a level to see its lessons.
Intelligent adults, no psychology background needed, who want to understand people — colleagues, family, customers, themselves — with more accuracy than they currently do.
Anyone looking for tricks to control people, a way to diagnose the people in their life, or a course they can finish in a weekend.
The certificate recognises completion of an educational programme. It is not a professional, clinical or licensing qualification.

@humancheatcodes_About four hours a week if you want to finish in a few months. It is self-paced; a full lesson takes about 80–90 minutes, and the Academy waits for you.
No. It’s written for intelligent adults, and every term is defined the first time it’s used.
No. Eight short recorded videos and a self-paced path through seven levels. Every lesson can also be listened to.
Level 0, Orientation: the map of the field and how the Academy works. Create an account and it is yours. Everything else opens with membership.
A Certificate of Completion from Human Cheat Codes, issued when at least 80% of lessons are complete, your quiz average is 70% or more, the Mastery Exam is passed and the capstone is submitted. It states plainly that it is not a professional qualification.
No. The certificate recognises completion of an educational programme. It is not a professional, clinical or licensing qualification. It’s designed to change how you read people and evidence, not to qualify you to practise.
Level 4 teaches mental-health literacy: how conditions are understood, assessed and treated. It never trains anyone to diagnose, and it opens once a qualified clinician has signed it off. Until then it shows “Opening soon”.
Full refund within 14 days of joining, if you’ve completed fewer than three paid lessons. After that we don’t refund, because by then the materials have been delivered.
Not at the moment — it’s one payment, and there is no subscription.
It will help you understand what’s happening and what you can and can’t conclude. It’s education, not therapy, and the programme is clear about that line.
