Codecademy’s pricing FAQ says first responders in the US, UK and Canada can get 50% off annual Pro and Plus memberships by verifying their ID, but the discount page and its terms name other groups, so confirm you’re eligible before you pay.
Codecademy’s subjects menu includes AI, cybersecurity, data analytics and data science, and its career menu lists career paths, interview prep and professional certification. If you’re eyeing a tech skill for a second job or retirement, check the eligibility details below before you count on the price.
How To Get The Codecademy First Responder Discount
- Open Codecademy’s discount page with the button below and find the verification link.
- Verify your area of work through Proxi.id. The page says you’ll get a promo code for checkout. The pricing FAQ puts it as verifying your ID to get a code you can use any time of year.
- Complete verification before you buy. The terms say you must have the code prior to purchase.
- Choose a new annual plan and enter the code at checkout.
What The Pages Say About First Responders
Codecademy’s own pages don’t line up, and you should see both sides. The pricing FAQ lists first responders among the groups eligible for 50% off annual Pro and Plus memberships. The discount page, though, shows three groups, military, government and social sector. Its terms name active or retired military personnel, active government employees, active social sector workers, and active teachers and educators. First responders aren’t named there, and none of these pages names police, fire or EMS jobs.
Proxi.id runs the verification, so whether your job passes isn’t something either page spells out. The help center’s advice is to reach out to Customer Support with questions about the terms of a discount, so write to them before you pay.
ID.me’s directory, for what it’s worth, lists the Codecademy offer for military members and says on its first responder page that it isn’t aware Codecademy offers first responders discounts. That’s ID.me’s statement, not Codecademy’s, but it’s one more reason to confirm.
What The Discount Covers And What It Leaves Out
The FAQ says Pro and Plus. The discount page says Pro memberships, and the terms say new annual subscription plans to Codecademy Pro. Ask which plan your code works on.
The terms add several limits:
- The code is valid one time only.
- The discount applies to the first year of a new subscription. After that, the plan renews at the regular price unless you cancel.
- It can’t be combined with any other offer, and it doesn’t apply to Codecademy for Business plans.
- It applies to certain products, and not every product is available in every country.
Codecademy also reserves the right to modify or cancel the promotion at any time without notice.
