Course Information

It is a free course which you can access at a time that suits you, evenings, weekends or a little each day. Learning online offers you more time to fully absorb the information.

How much time do you need to commit to the course? Like everything in life and business, you will benefit by setting yourself a goal. We recommend you can do the course and start your creative enterprise in 90 days. It is delivered in a seven module format and is designed in such a way to let you explore each module in detail and to give you a greater understanding of the course in general.

The course is modular and you can dip into and out of the modules as you choose, however we recommend that you start by clicking on course overview and then following the modules in the suggested 1 to 7 order. Each module comprises a main presentation on the topic (on the left in the table below) and then a set of extra resources such as exercises, videos and quizzes (on the right).
