*Frequent questions:<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

What happens if I can’t see the classes live one day?<\/p>\n

\u2022 No problem. All classes are live but will also be recorded and posted on our platform. So you can see them whenever you want throughout the duration of the course. This means that if you cannot attend your class live at the stipulated time, you will be able to see them on the platform until the end of the course. These video-classes, 1080p, posted on the platform can be viewed unlimitedly during the duration of the course but cannot be copied or downloaded. Class recorded can also be viewed for 6 months\u00a0 once the course is over.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When can I see the classes I did not attend live?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Access to the virtual platform where you can consult all the information or documentation of the course, access all the classes that have already been taught or the proposed exercises.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
