-
Online learning is not for me. Are you hosting any physical class soon?
We strongly advise that you take an online route because its pre-recorded and you can watch it over and over again. In physical classes, you dont get to relieve the information you got in the class like an online learning. Also, the discomfort, cost and the whole logistics of travelling is discouraging. The time constraints, the speed of learning is also a disadvantage of physical classes. However, if you still prefer one, please sign up on our website and we wuld notify you when we launch an offline masterclass!
