As we produce more segments of these courses we will do a short 5 minute overview of each segment to get your feet wet instead of simply diving in.
Look to this space for more information as we are building this course from the ground up.
We also plan an e-book with the overview and some extras included as a free download.
Stay tuned as this is a work in progress.
Also along with the course we offer a detailed series of links, inside the course we can provide you with information outside the course itself. So in the course we give you more information for free.
We do not sell anything on this website but information and education.
This is a living document. This is the outline for the entire course.
Each with it's own video segment.
I have the model parts and the expertise to film it with humor and education.
