How it works

Full Participation vs. Study along

Full Participation

Full Participation learning gives you the benefit of accessing the materials at your own time from any place while also connecting with the instructor for discussion, demonstration and weekly feedback. Students are given a robust learning environment that includes online classroom content, live discussion with the instructor and instructor feedback throughout the course. Full participation students also post their assignments in the workshop and receive instructor feedback each week.
Independent Learning

Independent learning gives you the benefit of a robust online learning environment, which includes all course content and videos. Independent learning students will not be able to participate in instructor live discussion or submit photos for feedback. This is a great option for students wanting to explore a new subject on their own before taking a full class or a great option for a skill refresher.
