Anyone under 21 years old – typically students and apprentices. When you unlock access you only provide your date of birth; if it shows you're under 21, your access is activated instantly.

Is it really completely free?

Yes. For under-21s the full range of features is free: PDF without watermark, all 44 templates, no subscription. For everyone else the Premium PDF costs a one-time €7.99.

How long does access last?

Your unlocked access lasts 24 hours. During that time you can create and customize your CV and download it as a PDF as often as you like.

What happens after 24 hours?

The CV you created stays saved. Once access expires the normal terms apply again – downloading the PDF again is then possible with Premium for a one-time €7.99, still with no subscription.
