What to Expect

With our flipped-classroom approach, you will actively engage with course content on an individual basis, while also building valuable connections with a small group of peers during weekly live learning sessions. To achieve this, we ask that you participate in the live learning sessions by video. While we value collaboration, please join independently, even if your coworkers are taking the course.
