SaaS / Marketing · Intermediate to advanced; the seller says beginners can follow it · English
The instructor, the syllabus, the price and the delivery path all check out, and the $799 has held steady for three years while the former $1,299 tier's 1:1 session was folded in at no extra cost. The 3.2/5 reflects what surrounds that: no refund or guarantee is published anywhere, no terms of service actually govern the purchase, the certification is recognised only by T2D3, a second exam is sold as included while marked “coming soon”, a $50 book-owner discount is buried on a page the sales page never links to, and the “1-year Pro membership” you are sold is a retired tier whose templates the seller now gives away free.
Last checked · Evidence is labeled by source type and freshness.
A named Washington LLC, a real agency, a published book, a live free exam and a public directory of 104 named certified members all support that this is a genuine product from identifiable people. None of that evidences teaching quality, the value of the credential to an employer, or what happens if you want your money back. The one third-party rating that exists — 7/10 — was written by the seller's former agency CRO, who now competes with them and holds only their free entry-level badge.
Quick verdict
The T2D3 B2B SaaS CMO Masterclass is a self-paced $799 USD course from Stijn Hendrikse, author of the T2D3 book and co-founder of the B2B SaaS agency Kalungi. It publishes an unusually detailed 18-lecture syllabus and an exact team-discount table, but it publishes no refund policy at all, and its “certification” is issued and recognised only by T2D3.
Rating methodology
Price, syllabus, instructor identity and price history are strongly evidenced from multiple public sources including the page's own structured data and three archived snapshots. Against that, the course was not purchased, the payment page sits behind account registration, refund terms do not exist to verify, and the only third-party assessment of the course comes from a competitor of the seller with no evidence of enrolment.
Weighted total: 3.175, rounded to one decimal as 3.2/5. Read the rating methodology.
Course record
A one-time $799 purchase for lifetime access to roughly 10 hours of self-paced video covering B2B SaaS go-to-market strategy, bundled with the T2D3 Playbook, templates, assignments, quizzes, a “1-year Pro membership”, two T2D3 Practitioner certification exams and one free 60-minute 1:1 session with Stijn Hendrikse that the seller values at $500. It is delivered through a Kalungi-hosted application, separate from T2D3's newer subscription product, T2D3 OS. Until roughly August 2026 the same course was sold in two tiers, $799 without the 1:1 and $1,299 with it; the upper tier has been retired and the session folded into the base price.

These titles and takeaways are taken from the current official course page, and match the eighteen entries in that page's own Course structured data exactly. The paid lessons were not purchased or inspected, and per-lesson runtimes are not published.
Fit
B2B SaaS marketing leaders, founders and investors who want a structured, executive-level go-to-market curriculum rather than tactical growth hacks.
Fractional CMOs who want a shared vocabulary and a step-by-step playbook to bring to client engagements, and who value a named credential to display.
Teams buying multiple licences, where the published 10–35% volume discount and a common internal language are the point.
Not a fit for anyone who needs a refund guarantee, an independently accredited qualification, or hands-on execution training rather than strategy and management.
The $799 USD price is stated plainly in three places on the seller's own page, including its machine-readable Course offer data.
The full 18-lecture syllabus is published before purchase, with concrete named frameworks rather than vague outcomes.
Team pricing is published as an exact table from 1 to 20+ licences, with per-licence and total figures — rare transparency at this price point.
The instructor is a real, identifiable operator: a published author, a co-founder of a Seattle agency, and a podcast host, with a named guest lecturer on the syllabus.
A 60-minute 1:1 session with the author is now included at $799; it previously required the $1,299 tier.
A public directory names 104 certified members with their job titles, so the credential's holders can actually be checked.
A free Foundations certification exam lets you sample the methodology's assessment before paying anything.
No refund, guarantee or cooling-off policy is published anywhere — not on the course page, not in its FAQ, not in either terms document, and not in any archived version going back to 2023.
No terms of service actually govern this purchase: the T2D3 legal terms explicitly cover only the separate app.t2d3.pro subscription, and the Kalungi terms the signup page asks you to accept are not even hyperlinked.
The certification is issued and recognised solely by T2D3, per T2D3's own structured data; no independent accreditor, university or professional body recognises it.
The pricing card and FAQ sell “two certification exams (Practitioner 1 and 2)” while the certification page labels Practitioner 2 “coming soon”.
The “1-year Pro membership” sold as an inclusion is, on the seller's own /memberships page, a tier where “New paid memberships are no longer sold” and whose template library is now “open — every framework lives on the Templates page, free” to everybody. The course page does not say so, or link there.
A $50 discount for book owners exists but is published only on that legacy memberships page — the pricing card and the eight-question FAQ never mention it, so anyone who buys off the sales page pays $50 too much.
Only two written testimonials exist, both undated and unchanged since at least May 2023.
The only third-party rating found anywhere — Growigami's 7/10 — was written by Kalungi's former CRO, who now runs a competing agency and holds only T2D3's free Foundations badge, not the Practitioner credentials that require completing the Masterclass.
No review-platform listing exists at all: Reddit, Trustpilot, G2, TrustRadius, Capterra, Class Central, Hacker News, X, third-party YouTube and LinkedIn's own product page were all checked and none carries a rating, a review or a thread about this course.
The seller's two published workload figures do not reconcile: the course page says “10+ hours”, while Kalungi's page says “Every module includes 1–2 hours of self-paced learning material” — which across 18 published lecture entries would be 18–36 hours.
Clicking “Enroll now” does not show a price or a checkout; it shows a free-account signup form whose footer still reads “Copyright © 2022-2023 Kalungi, Inc.”
Team purchases are not self-serve: they require a form and a promised reply “within 1 business day”.
No changelog, lesson dates or update history back the “lifetime access to all updates and bonus lectures” promise.
Risk review
A named legal entity with a stated jurisdiction: T2D3 LLC, Washington State, King County venue.
A real operating agency behind it — Kalungi, Inc., 300 Lenora Street, Seattle WA 98121 — which cross-promotes the same course on its own domain.
A published book with a real ISBN (9798528982908), co-authored with Mike Northfield and listed on Amazon, Google Books and Google Play.
A public certified-member directory naming 104 people and their roles, including both of the page's testimonial authors.
The headline price has been unchanged at $799 since at least May 2023, and the recent change moved value toward the buyer by folding in the former $1,299 tier's 1:1 session.
A free Foundations exam is genuinely live, so the certification track can be sampled at no cost.
Buying at $799 with no published refund term and no governing contract leaves a buyer relying entirely on goodwill.
The word “certification” carries the page's headline claim — “the ultimate B2B SaaS marketing certification course” — while the credential is self-issued and self-recognised.
The job-board benefit attached to certification is hedged twice by the seller's own words (“may be invited”, “may qualify you”) and no placement data is published.
Marketing copy advertising a “Q4 2022” certification launch and a December 2022 early-access deadline was still live on the course page in May 2026, roughly three and a half years stale.
The seller's attention has visibly moved to a new subscription product, T2D3 OS, which is in open beta and does not include the Masterclass in any plan.
The course app still sits on the older Kalungi platform with a 2022-2023 copyright line, while the marketing site around it has been entirely rebuilt.
The team-pricing PDF the page offers for download is an image-based file whose contents could not be read and cross-checked against the on-page table.

“The most foundational shift I have experienced due to the T2D3 masterclasses is my new ability to step back, holistically assess a company's situation, and know where to aim their go-to-market strategy in a way that sets them up for success. I see how everything works together — the masterclasses have exponentially grown my marketing knowledge and allowed me to really feel like a B2B SaaS marketing expert.”
Verbatim from the official course page, attributed there to a “fractional marketing leader”. The name also appears in T2D3's own certified-member directory, so the person is at least internally corroborated. It carries no date on the page and substantially the same text was already published in the 26 May 2023 archived version, making it at least three years old.
View source ↗“I've used the T2D3 model to help my clients understand how they fit into the market and what their growth stage means for their goals. It gave me new language to get buy-in from executive teams to rethink their original direction in favor of efforts proven to be more effective for their products, markets, competition, and capabilities.”
Verbatim from the official course page, attributed there to a “marketing leader”, and also present in the 26 May 2023 archived version. The name appears in T2D3's certified-member directory. Undated on the page, and it describes the T2D3 model rather than the course experience specifically.
View source ↗“This is such a good resource for CEOs, CMOs, and growth teams working on building B2B SaaS companies. In our portfolio, we have used these tools and relied on Stijn, Mike, and the Kalungi team for their guidance for several years. A great read and a must-have reference.”
Verbatim from Kalungi's own T2D3 page, attributed there to a managing director at Trilogy Search Partners. Important scope limit: this endorses the T2D3 book and the Kalungi team — “a great read” — not the Masterclass. It is included only because these three are the sole verbatim, attributed endorsements published anywhere in the T2D3 orbit.

The official course page sells a single $799 USD one-time tier with lifetime access, publishes an exact 1-to-20+ team discount table from 10% to 35%, lists 18 lecture entries that match its own Course structured data, and carries a JSON-LD offer of price 799 in USD. Both enrolment buttons resolve to app.kalungi.com/t2d3_sign_up, a free-account form that shows no price and no payment UI.

It is not a learner report and it is not disinterested: its author states on his own site that he “spent four years at Kalungi (2019-2023)” and “eventually became CRO” before co-founding the competing agency that publishes it, and T2D3's own directory lists him at the free Foundations tier, not the Practitioner tiers that require completing the Masterclass. No review-platform listing exists — Trustpilot, G2, TrustRadius, Capterra and Class Central return nothing, as do Reddit, Hacker News, X and third-party YouTube, and LinkedIn's own Masterclass product page carries no rating and no reviews. Apart from the Growigami entry, every learner-attributed item that exists — two written testimonials, one video, the certified-member directory — is seller-hosted or seller-produced.

Whether any refund is ever granted in practice, since no policy exists to enforce.
What the $799 payment page shows: whether it confirms the same price, adds an order bump or upsell, or states any terms. It sits behind free-account registration, which this research declined to complete.
Whether the Practitioner 2 exam can actually be sat today, given that it is sold as included but labelled “coming soon”.
What the “1-year Pro membership” inclusion is still worth. The tier is defined at t2d3.pro/memberships as “Everything in Basic, plus Pro templates and Office Hours”, but the same page says new paid memberships are no longer sold and the templates are now free to everyone, so what a 2026 buyer actually gains beyond Office Hours is not published.
How many people have bought the course. The 104 figure counts certified members, not purchasers, and the course is not on a marketplace that would expose enrolments.
When the video lessons were recorded and whether they have been substantively updated, since no changelog or lesson dates are published.
Whether the promised “lifetime access” would survive T2D3's migration away from the Kalungi platform toward T2D3 OS.
Support response times, and whether the 60-minute 1:1 with Stijn Hendrikse is scheduled promptly in practice.
The registration date of t2d3.pro: four WHOIS and RDAP lookups returned nothing for the .pro registry, leaving only a June 2021 Wayback lower bound.

Questions
It appears to be a real course from identifiable people: a named Washington LLC, a working agency in Seattle, a published book, a live enrolment path and a public directory of 104 named certified members. That supports legitimacy — it does not evidence teaching quality, and the course publishes no refund policy at all.
$799 USD as a one-time purchase with lifetime access, re-checked on 2026-08-11 on the official course page and in its structured data. Team licences drop to $719.10 each at 2 seats and as low as $519.35 each at 20+ seats. There is no payment plan. There is one discount, and the course page does not mention it: if you own the T2D3 book, registering your copy at t2d3.pro/memberships with your Amazon order ID gets you “a $50 discount on the T2D3 Masterclass”, taking it to $749. The seller says verification “can take up to 2 business days”, so claim it before you buy.
There isn't one. No refund, guarantee or cooling-off term appears on the course page, in its FAQ, in T2D3's legal terms, in Kalungi's terms of service, or in any archived version back to 2023. The only non-refundable clause anywhere governs a different T2D3 product. Ask for refund terms in writing before paying.
No. T2D3's own structured data names T2D3 as the only organisation recognising all three of its credentials, and no accreditor, university or professional body was found to recognise it. The seller does not claim outside accreditation — but the page's headline does call this “the ultimate B2B SaaS marketing certification course”, so treat the certificate as an internal badge, not a qualification.
That is what the pricing card and FAQ say. However, the certification page labels Practitioner 2 “coming soon”, even though its own directory shows some members already holding it. Confirm availability with the seller before buying on that basis.
Stijn Hendrikse, co-author of the T2D3 book and co-founder of the B2B SaaS agency Kalungi, with Gary Graf credited as a guest lecturer on the testimonial-writing lesson. The $799 tier now includes a 60-minute 1:1 session with Hendrikse that previously required a $1,299 tier.
One, and it comes with strings. Growigami's “SaaS Marketing Courses and Certifications: Honest Reviews for 2026” rates the Masterclass 7/10 and notes that the tactical advice “is more relevant to mid-market SaaS ($5-50M ARR) than to early-stage companies” and that it “leans heavily toward Kalungi's specific methodology”. Two things to weigh before you lean on it: its author, Alexander Chua, writes elsewhere on his own site that he “spent four years at Kalungi (2019-2023)” and “eventually became CRO” before founding the competing agency that publishes the article, and T2D3's own directory lists him at the free Foundations tier rather than the Practitioner tiers that require completing the Masterclass — so it is not a paying learner's account. Beyond that, nothing: no listing or rating on Trustpilot, G2, TrustRadius, Capterra or Class Central, no Reddit thread, no Hacker News discussion, no third-party YouTube review, and LinkedIn's own product page for the Masterclass carries no rating and no reviews. Every other piece of learner evidence is hosted or produced by the seller.
Source registry
t2d3-officialSupports: The $799 USD one-time price (hero line, pricing card and Course JSON-LD offer), the 10–35% team discount table, the full 18-entry lecture syllabus, the 10+ hour workload claim, the inclusions list (including “1-year Pro membership”), the eight-question FAQ, the two named written testimonials, and the certification claim.
Limitations: Seller-controlled marketing page. It publishes no refund, guarantee or cancellation policy; it sells a “1-year Pro membership” without defining it or linking to the page that does; and it makes no mention anywhere — not in the pricing card, not in its eight-question FAQ — of the $50 book-owner discount the seller publishes on /memberships. Its testimonials are undated and reproduce text that was already on the page in May 2023. The original inventory URL /b2b-saas-cmo-masterclass-marketing-certification-course redirects here.
t2d3-enrollmentSupports: Where both the “Enroll now” and “Get the complete program” buttons actually land. It is a free-account creation form — “Create your free T2D3 account… or upgrade to full access with a Masterclass account” — hosted on Kalungi's Bubble application.
Limitations: It is not a payment page: no price, currency, payment form, order bump, upsell or refund wording appears at this step, and the $799 checkout sits behind account registration that this research declined to complete. Its footer still reads “Copyright © 2022-2023 Kalungi, Inc.”, and the “Kalungi App … Terms of Service” it asks buyers to accept is not hyperlinked.
t2d3-archive-2026Supports: That three months before the current redesign the page still sold two tiers — $799 and a $1,299 “Masterclass + Playbook + Stijn 1:1” — with the same 10–35% team table, and still displayed 2022 copy verbatim: a waitlist for a certification launch “in Q4 2022” and an early-access window ending “December 31st” after “December 7th, 2022”. It also contains no refund policy.
Limitations: An archived snapshot describes a prior version of the page and must not be read as current terms. The 19 June 2025 snapshot carried an identical pricing block.
growigami-reviewSupports: The only third-party rating of this course found anywhere. Entry 4 of 15 reads verbatim: “Price: $799 Format: Self-paced video + certification Duration: 10+ hours Best for: Aspiring or new CMOs at B2B SaaS companies Our rating: 7/10”, with the critique “Some of the tactical advice is more relevant to mid-market SaaS ($5-50M ARR) than to early-stage companies. The course also leans heavily toward Kalungi's specific methodology, which may not be universally applicable.” The same 7/10 repeats in the article's 15-course comparison table. Article JSON-LD names the author as Alexander Chua, Co-Founder, Growigami, datePublished 2026-02-02.
Limitations: Two conflicts of interest, both verified. (1) On growigami.com/blog/best-b2b-saas-marketing-agencies the same author writes “I spent four years at Kalungi (2019-2023) … sat on the leadership team, and eventually became CRO”, and that page ranks his own agency #1 and Kalungi #2 — he is a former executive of the seller's agency who now competes with it. (2) He appears in T2D3's own certified-member directory as “Alexander Chua / Fractional CMO / FOUNDATIONS” — the free tier, which /certification says is “free to take after reading the book”, not the Practitioner tiers that require completing the Masterclass. The article says only “I have taken or reviewed every course on this list” and gives no lesson-level or enrolment detail, so it is not evidence of a paying learner's experience. The same article is also served at pipelineroad.com/agency/blog/saas-marketing-courses via a 308 redirect; that is the same entity, not a second source.
t2d3-videoSupports: That the video testimonial linked from the course page is real and exists; YouTube's oEmbed confirms the uploading channel is T2D3 itself.
Limitations: Seller-produced, not an independent review. No transcript was obtained, so nothing is quoted or attributed to the speaker here beyond the video's existence.
