No. The Lua Foundations track starts from absolute zero and assumes you have never written a line of code before, walking you through every concept from variables through to advanced patterns before you touch FiveM scripting.
The core skills you learn (Lua, server management, content creation, digital sales) transfer directly to GTA6, and the GTA6 Readiness track is specifically designed to prepare you for the transition with updated content as new information becomes available.
Most students working 5 to 10 hours per week work through the full curriculum in 10 to 16 weeks, though the pace is entirely self-directed and you retain access to all content for as long as your subscription is active.
You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings, and you will retain access to all content through the end of your current billing period with no penalties or hidden fees.
Constantly. We are always adding new workshops, curriculum modules, and timely updates so that GTA Academy subscribers stay informed about GTA news, platform changes, modding developments, and emerging opportunities across the ecosystem.
