FAQs

  • What technology do I need to fully participate in the course?

    The course is best accessed through a computer or tablet. You also need a reliable internet connection, especially if you want to join the Zoom webinars live rather than watching the recordings. You can use a smartphone though some PDF material may be harder to read.

  • How much time does the course take?

    You should easily be able to work through the core curriculum in a few hours a week. However, if you choose, it may take more time to explore the additional resources available.

  • How long will I have access to the course?

    The course runs for four weeks. However, we realise life can be unpredictable and you may need more time to work through all of the material so we give you access for two months from the start date of the course. If you need additional time for any reason let us know and we can discuss.

  • What support is available?

    Course instructors can answer questions during the weekly webinars, in the group discussions or the course community. The online learning coordinator, Page, is also available to answer any technical problems you may have.

  • I have another question, who can I ask?
