Will I be graded for this?
You will be assessed based on the assignments, your participation on social media and within your group, and the individual video component. As this is a certification, there will be a pass/fail grade. Only participants who pass the assessments will attain the certification.
I don’t know how to study. I’m not a “studying” person. Will it be too much for me?
Participants will be assigned to small groups that are led by a facilitator. Facilitators will support you according to your individual needs. The assessments take into consideration your understanding and application of the learnings, not your command of language.

How is it that the best ideas for work come during the times when we are NOT thinking about work? i.e. in the shower, driving
It probably is because we are relaxed enough to let our imagination run during those times. Not the best for taking down inspired notes though!
