Here’s how to do it without boring presentations or complicated technical instructions. Up your knowledge and confidence on this microcourse run over two 2-hour sessions, February 2 - 3. (Please note this session is the first of the two x 2-hour sessions).
You’ll earn a certificate and (real!) badge on completion. You don’t need any technical knowledge or experience to take part.
Feedback from previous attendees say that this online course is “friendly and non patronising”, “entertaining and informative”, “clear and non- judgmental”, and “just what I needed but was too afraid to ask”.
