Questions
Short answers to what schools ask us most.
Do learners pay to use it?
No. Learners are always free. Your school pays one monthly price based on your active staff: you plus every instructor who uses Key2K53. Plans start at R349 per month for 1–4 people.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. Every new school starts with a free trial. You do not need a card to sign up.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Learners give POPIA consent, staff can use two-step sign-in, and each school only ever sees its own records. ID numbers are masked and only shown to the owner when needed.
Can I leave and take my data with me?
Yes. Download your reports and learner records at any time. There is no lock-in.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the web browser on your phone, tablet or computer, so there is nothing to install. Learners get a simple menu at the bottom of the screen, and the owner and instructor screens fit small screens too.
