CAUTION

The opportunity presented to me on my sales call and what was spoken about on the webinar no longer exists.

Even though it’s very clear inside Australian Consumer Law that if what was stated on the sales call has not or cannot be delivered, the customer has the right to request a full refund, Hibiki (Freedom Academy) are choosing to not provide one.

I screen recorded my sales call and it is very clear what was stated is not what is available now.

If a business chooses to build things on the fly, and during that build some things fall apart. That falls on the business, not on the customer.

After emailing and requesting a refund multiple times I have been denied and also have had access to the community removed.

If you want to do further research there is a public media release “ACCC vs Miyagi.”

Freedom Academy is the real deal

Freedom Academy is the real deal. Incredibly engaging content and the learning process is really well structured and easy to follow. The expectations are very clear and there are plenty of touch points along the way to help accelerate the journey and cement the learnings. Real world examples and an excellent community spirit. Support team are excellent and engaging. I found my journey so far very rewarding and the results are helping me achieve my business goals every day.

Valuable life skills.

Sales and communication skills are just the beginning.
What Shane and his team have put together has helped me to learn and understand the psychology of sales with integrity. I’m constantly learning and refining my communication skills so that I can develop and be of better value and service to others. The depth of knowledge and support within the community is invaluable.

The community Shane has put together shows the level he operates from - the knowledge he shares and the education platform is really digestible and makes what usually is somewhat painstaking…to enjoyable - I’m still working through program and can say that what he is offering is top Tier in comparison to how other platforms are structured. Highly recommend if you want to be connected to someone who is not only passionate in what they do but also supporting others level up

Sales as a path to Freedom

I haven't yet completed my training with Freedom Academy so I'm unable to provide a full review. The training so far has helped me develop a strong foundation in remote sales while teaching me the importance of buyer psychology, empathy, confidence and understanding human behaviour. I have gained skills, a growth mindset and learnt what it means to serve and support buyers through the decision-making process.

Before Freedom Academy my Partner and I were dying a slow death.

Before Freedom Academy my Partner and I were both working long hours, commuting to work and working for companies that treated us like numbers and not people.

Then I stumbled across Freedom while mind-numbingly scrolling Facebook. I thought, 'This looks interesting, what do I have to lose?" so took the plunge and my partner joined me in the program a week later.

I can't recommend Freedom Academy and Shane DaCosta highly enough. I’ve always been averse to sales tactics and sleazy snake oil salesmen.
However ....the Freedom Academy is different.

The sales training has completely changed the way I approach sales conversations. Shane has an incredible ability to break down complex strategies into practical, easy-to-apply techniques that deliver real results.

What stood out most was that the training isn't about using high-pressure tactics or manipulation. Instead, it concentrates on ethical sales, understanding customer needs, and communicating value with confidence and authenticity.

The support, coaching, and real-world insights have been outstanding, and I've come away with skills that I can apply every day and am now putting them to practical use. The Community is also invaluable.

Whether you're new to sales or looking to take your performance to the next level, Freedom Academy provides practical, actionable training that genuinely makes a difference.

Thank you, Shane and the Freedom Academy team, for your commitment to helping people grow professionally and personally. It's been an invaluable investment in our development.

The Best Career Decision I ever made.

Before joining Freedom Academy, I was spending hours every week commuting, stuck in the office for 40+ hours, and missing valuable time with my family.

I joined because I wanted to escape the rat race. Fast forward to today, I work the hours that suit my lifestyle, from home, and earn more in a month than many people earn in a quarter.

What surprised me most was the quality of the training. I've invested in plenty of sales training over the years, but nothing has been as practical or as easy to apply. The skills and confidence I've gained have completely changed the way I sell.

The community is another standout. You're never left to figure things out on your own. The ongoing coaching, support, and encouragement make all the difference.

Freedom Academy doesn't just teach sales it gives you a proven system that fast-tracks years of learning. I've watched complete beginners become top performers in a matter of months.

If you're tired of trading time for money or you're looking for a genuine opportunity to build a better lifestyle, I can't recommend Freedom Academy enough.

Joining has been one of the best career decisions I've ever made. More income, more freedom, and most importantly, more time with my family.

Built properly, by someone who understands business, not just sales

As a former school principal with 20 years in education, I notice quickly when something is built properly. The Freedom Academy is.

The curriculum is research based and structured to reduce cognitive load, which means learning actually fits around a full life rather than competing with it. You can move at your own pace while also applying skills within a genuinely engaged community, backed by coaching that prepares you for real opportunities, not just certificates.

The platform itself is polished and professional, which matters more than people realise. It reflects the calibre of the person behind it. Shane's expertise isn't limited to sales; it extends into business more broadly, and that distinction is rare. Many programs in this space are built by people who only understand selling. This one is built by someone who understands the business you're actually trying to build.

He believes in you before you believe in yourself, and he pushes you toward the best version of your work. The community follows the same standard: supportive, but genuinely accountability driven. This is a space built for growth and results, not just participation.

Beyond the skills, this has genuinely changed my life. It has given me a vehicle to real flexibility and a career that rewards the value I bring, not just the hours I clock. After two decades in a profession built around time, that shift has been significant.

Highly recommended for anyone serious about building real capability and a real career.

Freedom Academy for the Win

I joined Freedom Academy to learn remote sales, but what I received was far more powerful than i could have imagined. The program taught me how to understand not only the person on the other side of the conversation, but also myself, my values, my standards, and what ethical selling truly looks like.

Selling only to people who genuinely need the product, and that alignment has transformed the way I show up. It's a great feeling.

Being placed and stepping into a remote sales role has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve never experienced a process like this before, and I’m so grateful I pushed aside my fear and jump in.

I’ve really enjoyed being part of… Freedom Academy

I’ve really enjoyed being part of Freedom Academy so far. Shane clearly has a lot of knowledge when it comes to sales and sales psychology, and the training has been full of practical things I can actually use rather than just theory. There’s a lot of value in the frameworks, scripts and the way everything is broken down, which has helped me improve my confidence and approach to sales.

What I’ve also liked is that it doesn’t feel like you’re doing it alone. The community, live sessions, replays and support from the team have all been great, and it feels like a genuinely supportive environment to learn and grow in. You can tell Shane has put a lot into building something special for people who want to create more freedom and a better future for themselves. Glad I joined.
