While this course is for beginners, it is immersive and covers a lot of content in a short period of time. The course moves at a swift pace and content builds on itself from one night to the next. Each session is 2.5 hours with an additional 30 minutes available at the end of each class for students to practice what they've learned and get one on one support (this time is optional but highly recommended).
