Does it matter where I’m located?

Absolutely not. All the video lessons are pre-recorded, allowing you to watch them whenever is best for you. Inside the workshop, you’ll see the daily classwork to complete to stay on track. Although other students may complete lessons and exercises at different hours during the day, every student will be completing the same projects and watching the same videos day by day. It’ll feel like you’re learning in a classroom and part of a vibrant group of students.

We recommend attending the live Q&A sessions each week. If you aren’t able to attend, you’ll be able to submit your questions in advance and access the recorded versions after each weekly session.

You’ll get the best of both worlds - many of the benefits of learning in person, all from the comfort of your own home and the flexibility of your own hours.

How long are the weekly video calls?

The live video calls with Cory and Alain will be approximately 1-2 hour sessions at the end of each week during the 4-week workshop. This is when you’ll have a chance to ask any questions about the workshop material and get direct feedback from Cory and Alain.
