This is a six week online only course and it is 100% self-paced. This means that there are no set class times and no face-to-face classes. You can access the course at any time within the six weeks. It is recommended that you use a computer. You can try the course on your mobile devices, but it is advised to use tablets or computers because smartphones have small screen sizes.
This course has a facilitator that will email you updates and monitor your progress throughout the six weeks. There is no actual instructor for this course because it is all online and presentations are pre-created.
