Courses

Currently, the Online Academy disseminates its courses via WhatsApp. The courses consist of four modules. At the end of each module, you will receive a practical assignment to be sent to the course coordinator. Each participant who has handed in all assignments with an average pass grade, will receive a certificate after the end of the course.

If you join a course, you will receive lessons three times per week. We expect that it will take three to four hours per week to successfully follow the lessons.

Due to the personal approach in our courses, we allow a maximum of 100 participants per course.
