FAQ

  • How long is this course and how much time is required every week?

    At the end of the day this course is for you so you get to spend as much time on it as you want. There are 9 key content modules and a welcome and reflection. You could get through the material in ~12 hours but if you engage with the case studies and additional content you could decide to spend far more time on this. I would suggest you attempt a module a week and this course take 10-12 weeks studying for 1-2 hours each time.

  • Will I receive a certificate?

    Yes! Once you have completely finished all course materials (and I will check!) you will get a course completion certificate from Dr Jenni Douglas.

  • Will published research be used and cited?

    Yes, I will include links to pertinent resources which directly link you to PDFs, videos, papers etc.

  • Do I have to watch at certain times?

    No. the material is available 24/7 and self paced. You can watch and access the materials when it is convenient to you. You can have a lifetime access so as I update materials with new research you will have access to that material too.
