Agenda
The online course is accompanied by virtual live sessions over a period of approx. six weeks. Three blocks with three modules each will be opened for you one after the other. One weekly block corresponds to approx. 4.5 working hours. Each module contains an inspirational video (approx. 15 min) and a practice tutorial (approx. 15 – 30 min). This is the basis for your work unit (about you 45 min). Your time investment of a whole module is about 90 minutes. We recommend that you work on the three modules spread over a week (e.g. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays), so that you can flexibly schedule the total of 4.5 hours per week."201341983":0,"335559739":120,"335559740":259">
