Will the sessions be recorded and available to participants?
Yes! All sessions will be recorded, so if you can’t attend live or want to revisit the material, you’ll have access to the full recordings. This means you can follow along at your own pace, review exercises, and reflect on the expert insights whenever it’s convenient for you.
Pre-reading materials will also be provided before each session to help you prepare, and “homework” exercises will give you practical ways to apply what you’ve learned and get the most out of the course.
What if I can’t attend all four sessions?
Don’t worry—we understand life can get busy! The programme is flexible, and if you miss a session, join late, or leave early, we’ll make sure you’re up to date with summaries, recordings, and materials. You can continue participating in exercises, pre-reading, and homework at your own pace, ensuring you still gain the full benefit of the course.
