Course dates are announced on our Facebook page. Our courses are 100% self-paced. Students can participate whenever it works for them, without any scheduled meeting times, students can login and access the material at all hours.
It’s 100% online. We do encourage students to join optional gatherings during days off to meet classmates “in real life”. It’s a great way to make friends and discuss lessons!
All the lessons take place within an online classroom, but students don’t study alone. A team leader, who is a domestic worker herself, will invite new students to join a chat group. The class interacts and participates together, led by the team leader who has already completed the course. There is a maximum of 20 students per group chat, which enables everyone to participate and feel comfortable in asking questions. You can mute the class chat discussion to avoid being disturbed at work.
Yes! At the end of this programme, a certificate of completion is issued. Although this is not an official educational certification, accreditation or diploma, it’s something to be very proud of!
