We use software and sometimes physical tool to create an environment that gives you an experience as close as possible to real life. 

There are costs associated with creating these environment including license fees in some cases.

Some of our members do not have the financial means to participate with a lack of resources such as laptops, data or other tools.

Where possible, we try and ensure that this does not stop them from gaining skills that can change their circumstances for the better.

There are costs involved in keeping the platform running. These include basic things like hosting fees and where we do not have certain skills internally we hire people.

We also pay for collaboration tools such as zoom.

Depending on the topic, it might not be possible to have a session online and we need to hire venues. These will usually also be catered for through making the session paid session. We try and keep the costs to participants as low as possible that means sometimes the costs of the session exceed the income received from the tickets and skillx has to cover those costs.
