What is Zoom? How do I download it?
Zoom is a free video-conferencing app that we use to conduct our courses. You can download it here.
What happens if I miss a session?
Sessions are video recorded, so if you miss a session (or want to review), you can watch the recording. That said, we highly recommend attending each live session so that you can ask questions and engage with your instructor(s) and other participants.
If you do miss a session, we recommend that you watch the recording before attending the next session.
