Not really, no! Levels are simply designed to help people who like a pre-defined structure and pathway for their practice and playing. They're also not 'marked' like grades - you don't have to get feedback if you don't want to - you can simply use the levels as a tool to help guide your progress.
-
Not at all! The course is here for you to enjoy at your leisure, however you like. The option of feedback and a certificate is simply to add some tangible outcomes for your work - it's certainly not a necessity.

No! These levels aren't about passing or failing, they're only about helping your guitar playing journey. Feedback will always be supportive and constructive.
