Are these courses live?

No. Since we have students from all over the world, it makes it impossible to schedule live courses. 

These courses have instructor “exclusive” pre-recorded video lessons that you can watch anytime and anywhere as long as you have high-speed Internet connection on a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

You can watch the videos in parts if you can’t watch the entire video all at once. You can forward and rewind the video lessons from your instructor as often as you wish during your enrollment in the course. 

This is an added bonus, because everyone knows that there is no rewinding instructors information when taking a physical workshop. We made it easy for anyone in the world to learn from the very best.

How do courses work?

Once you enroll you will have access to all available content. Courses are self-study so you can watch at your convenience. Unlike workshops courses do not involve assignments and feedback. But with some courses there may be critique videos included which means the course was once a workshop. We feel adding the critiques makes the course more educational.
