*Frequent questions:

What happens if one day I can’t watch live classes?

• No problem. All classes are live but will also be recorded and published on our platform. So you can see them whenever you want during the duration of the course. This means that if you cannot attend your live class at the stipulated time, you will be able to view them on the platform until the end of the course. These video classes published on the platform can be viewed unlimitedly during the duration of the course but cannot be copied or downloaded. They can also be viewed for 6 months once the course has finished.

When can I watch classes I missed live?

• Access to the virtual platform where you can consult all the information or documentation of the course, access all the classes already taught or the proposed exercises.
