Frequently Asked Questions


How do i access all the modules?
The modules are time delayed into sections, so every 4 weeks we will release the modules for that next 4 weeks ahead. This is so you can progress through the course at the right pace and will fall in line with our live video lessons
What if i cant make the live video lesson?
All of the lessons will be recorded and uploaded to the portal so you can play them back at your leisure. We do strongly recommend you attend the live lesson however, as it will give you chance to ask your tutor any questions you have.
Can i have all the modules upfront rather than 4 weekly?
Sadly no, this is how the course is formulated, and is paced in this way so you can follow the course along with your tutor for full support. There will be plenty for you to do each month and we will supply further resources for you to research and read in addition to the course each week, so you can study additional things to keep you busy :-)
