                                                                                                          How much time do I need?

                                                                                                          Each week has around 10 lessons a week with a very short intro and debrief. There's roughly 2 hours of material to watch then 2 hours of practice time. All in all, it's a very streamlined, part-time course that can be done on a few evenings or a free afternoon.

                                                                                                          Is my timezone a problem?

                                                                                                          In short, no! We've designed this course to be studied whenever it suits you. You've got 24/7 unlimited access to the pre-recorded curriculum.

                                                                                                          You can reach out via email, message or via the Discord server. There, you'll have a group of like-minded people to share your progress with as well as directly talk to your tutor.

                                                                                                          What do I get when I finish?

                                                                                                          Once you've completed your final project, you'll submit it for a review. Your tutor will send you feedback on your work, and you'll also receive a customised completion certificate.

                                                                                                          Yes! There's a live group call towards the end of week 3 or in week 4, depending on the tutors availability. This is a casual drop in event with no requirement to join, but it can be very helpful and fun! Times are given to all current students upon sign up.

                                                                                                          Can I get an extended trial?
