WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?

• Because sessions are live, you will have the opportunity to interact with presenters via a 30-minute Q&A. No relevant questions will go unanswered and if we run out of time, we’ll get back to you with written responses.

• Miss a class?  No problem. Classes will be recorded and available for viewing until one week after the program ends.

• To provide an ongoing reference, most lectures include handouts, which will be emailed.
