Can I pause and resume the course at my convenience?<\/strong><\/p><p>A. The course is designed with flexibility in mind. You can choose to complete each module at your own pace, whether during the monthly live session or by accessing the recorded content afterward. The course materials, including notes and supplementary content, will remain available for future review, allowing you to stop and pick up where you left off.<\/p><p><strong>Q. What is the total approximate time commitment for the course?<\/strong><\/p><p>A. The course consists of 10 modules, each approximately 2 hours long, delivered monthly. You can choose to attend live broadcasts or review the recordings and materials at a time that suits your schedule. There are no tests or required assignments, so the time commitment is flexible and can be adjusted to your learning goals.<\/p><p><strong>Q. Is there a capacity limit for live attendance?<\/strong><\/p><p>A. Yes, live attendance will be limited to 1,000 participants. Since we anticipate high demand, we recommend early registration to secure a spot if you plan to join live. For those unable to attend live, recorded modules will be available for on-demand access.<\/p><p><strong>Q. Will the course be recorded, and can I access the recordings if I miss a live session?<\/strong><\/p><p>A. Yes, each module will be recorded, and recordings will be accessible to all registered participants. While live attendance is encouraged for the benefit of interactive Q&amp;A, recordings will be available for review at any time after the session.<\/p><p><b>Q.
