Format of the Course
This is an asynchronous course. This means that all trainings have been pre-recorded, and you can work through these videos at your own pace and according to your own schedule during the week. This means you can start and stop at whatever times you want. You can skip tutorials that you already know, or that may not be so interesting for you. You can join all 5 days, or only 1. That is all up to you.
Note: there are no live sessions, everything is at-your-own-pace-and-schedule!
