The Universe treats us all to the same amount of minutes in a day, but in the real-world many of our students suffer from multiple combinations of dream-career obstructions such as full-time jobs, kids, sick family members, broken limbs, vacations, sinus infections (To our knowledge no one has suffered all 6 obstructions at the same time, thank god.)

You always have access to the course.

Have a full-time job? No  problem! Just about all of our students are working full-time. They solved this issue by jumping into the course before work, after dinner, or on weekends when everyone is still asleep. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and sink into the material.

Need to stay late at work? No problem! Logon during your lunch break. That way get to avoid Nancy at the lunch table while she chews her sandwich with her mouth open, yuck.

Your kids take up most of your free time? Again, no problem! Our students catch up on their lessons while waiting in the car to pick up the kids, or sitting in the doctor’s waiting room (You know their never on time), or as their nighly reading in bed.

If you have a different dream-career obstructions from the ones above, one of our students has probably over come a similar one. Email us and we’ll help you find a way.

But in reality, our students are typically so excited to be learning something they’re passionate about that they always find time to dive into the material and complete their fun assignments.

This is a totally self-paced, so depending upon how much time you dedicate determins how fast. That said, most of our students take on average 6 months to complete the course and earn their certificate. Exciting to think that six months from right now you could be a certified interior decorator.

You have 12 months to complete the couse. If you need to take off a month to help a friend move to Bali, you won’t miss a beat.
