The short answer is practitioners. People that have deep experience utilizing the knowledge they have, and a commitment to coaching you on the best ways to apply what you learn. That's why our courses are practitioner led.
Less than 15% of self-guided courses are completed, with some estimates as low as 3%. Adding a cohort-based component increases average completion to 85-90%. We value skills learning, and completion. So our courses are cohort based.
We do provide a discount if your business has more than one learner registered in the same course. Please contact us for details.
