Course Content and Access

Many students take multiple courses at once. While you could certainly sign up for as many courses as you want, we don’t recommend taking more than two courses at a time. A typical course will take anywhere from 5-10 hours a week to watch and practice, so depending on your schedule you can determine if it is feasible for you to take multiple courses at once.

Earch course is 10-14 weeks

Most of our classes are held two days each week. There is a lecture and instruction during "Class Time". In addition, most classes will hold "Critique Time" at a separate day and/or time, when each student's assignment can be reviewed. Smaller classes may not require separate Critique Time. Students can sign up for the particular teacher and class time that works best for them.

The classes are scheduled for about 90 minutes during which the instructor teaches the students through lectures and live workflow demonstrations. Most classes will also hold a 1-2 hour "Critique Time", on another day and/or time when the teacher reviews each student's assignment. The length of that session depends on how many students there are to review. Students are encouraged to stay for other students' critiques.
