HOW IT WORKS
LIVE SESSIONS & OFF-LINE STUDY
This is combination of live meetings conducted using ZOOM and off-line self study.
As soon as you sign up you get immediate, lifetime access to all the course materials - downloadable course videos, worksheets and extra materials.
There are five weekly live meetings over the course period, to give you enough time to apply the learning to your own project concept while still managing your regular work. Each Wednesday, (see the curriculum in the link for exact dates), we meet live at 11:00 UTC for around 60 minutes to review / preview and deal with questions. Between meetings you work through the materials and tasks (videos and exercises) and share work in progress. You can see current UTC time here.
