No. If you miss more than 15 minutes of the workshop, you will not be eligible for certification, and you will be welcome to attend the rest of the workshop. Don’t worry – if something big comes up, we’ll move you to a future workshop at no cost before the class starts.

You’ll need a computer with microphone, camera & speakers. Use https://fast.com to test your internet connection. After the download numbers stop, use the “more” option to calculate your upload speed. You’ll need 5 down / 1 up – and more is better. Now, while in class, you’ll be actively using your computer to participate in exercises, so plan to peek at your email only during a break or at lunchtime.
