Kursus materiale bestaan uit ‘drie Dvd’s, drie handboeke (wat ons e-pos) en projekte wat voltooi moet word en vir ons gestuur moet word vir evalueering. Studente kan enige tyd van die jaar registreer en die kursus begin. Daar is geen vereistes om te registreer nie. Daar is altyd ‘n dosent vir advies per telefoon, of e-pos beskikbaar gedurende die 12 maande wat jy het om die kursus te doen.

  • Terselfdertyd ontvang jy die eerste twee projeke wat aan die einde van die eerste afdeling voltooi moet word en teruggestuur moet word vir evaluering.
  • Hierna stuur ons die tweede afdeling met kritiek van die eerste projek. Ons laat ook toe dat studente wat naby Stellenbosch bly persoonlik vir hierdie evaluerings inkom.
  • Daar word ook deur die loop van die kursus per e-pos of telefoon met ons dosente geskakel indien daar vrae of verduidelikings benodig word. Op hierdie manier gaan jy op ‘n gedissiplineerde en lekker pas deur die kursus.
  • Jy het 12 maande om die kursus te voltooi. Ons oud studente het gemiddeld nege maande geneem, sommige professionele studente wat onder werkdruk was het ons selfs uitstel gegee na 14 maande.
