Description
In this ambiguous environment, it’s vital that further education continues, even if it can’t happen in person. That’s why we’re providing access to these workshops, best practices, and selling events during & post COVID at a fraction of in-person pricing. By educating online, you choose your learning environment that works best for your needs: be it your bedroom, your study, or as you run on the treadmill. Plus, it’s much easier to focus on what you’re doing. And you can choose to study at a time when you’re freshest. It also means that you don’t have to commute to class, which means you pay a much smaller fee versus higher in-person workshops & conferences.
