Updates
As I continue to receive feedback, I will post updates here.
With HillmanTok U being shadow banned, a lot of people haven't been able to find their videos of other professors. I am in the process of putting together a list of professors that teach other contents at HillmanTok University.
The objective of HillmanTok University is to break down the barriers to knowledge that we are experiencing in our communities. That means that information shared in our open class sessions will be publicly available for all to learn.
If you want to talk privately about your specific situation, you need to book a private session with me or join one of my smaller mentoring groups.
FAQ
Can I get a degree from HillmanTok U?
No, but you can get a Certificate after the completion of different courses. Reach out to each professor individually to see which classes offer a certificate.
Is there a cost to join HillmanTok U?
No. All of the basic intro courses are what we call Free Game. However, if you want to go in depth on a topic, specialize in a subject, or take advanced courses, there may be additional fees associated with those options.
Examples of Advanced Courses

What is HillmanTok University?
HillmanTok U is a collection of educators dedicated to teaching quality educational courses via free social media platforms in an effort to help people from across the world, get access to valuable information that they would normally have to pay for. On average college tuition and fees in the US range from $11,000 to $70,000 plus every year. This financial burden is often a barrier to education. So the goal is to provide access to this information without the same price tag as an accredited college or university.
Is the Real Estate 101 course really 8-weeks?
I'm in the process of creating a couple of shorter micro-courses for those who can't commit to the 8-week course.
In addition, I'll be offering previous course content on-demand for people who weren't able to start the 8-week course at the same time as others, or for those who can't attend the live sessions.
Are there grades for your course?
For those in my Google Classroom, there are grades for your different assignments. The assessments are designed to help you master the course content.
However, being a part of my Google Classroom is not a requirement for taking this online course.
Passing the graded assignments is a requirement to receive a course certificate
Can I offer a donation if I like my course?
Donations are not required, but they are accepted to help offset the costs of offering these courses publicly as the movement continues to grow.
