The three tiers

Three tiers.
One path.

Each tier includes everything in the tiers before it. Take Fundamentals and you have Intro too. Take the Masterclass and you have all three.

Start small, move up later

Do I have to take Intro first?

Yes. Intro to SMP is free, and every student completes it first: Fundamentals and the Masterclass open once it is done. Your progress carries over.

And from Fundamentals to the Masterclass?

What you paid for Fundamentals is credited toward the Masterclass, so moving up costs the same in total as buying the Masterclass from the start.

Do I repeat the modules I already finished?

No. Finished lessons stay finished; the new modules open in your dashboard.
