PERSONAL COACHING
The course program consists of 100 lessons, which are divided into thematic blocks for better comprehension and ease of learning. Access to individual lessons depends on the chosen package, allowing you to select the optimal format for your needs.
The course is divided into modules, each designed for about one month of study. You can purchase the modules one by one — it works like a convenient installment plan. Usually, one module is completed within a month, but if you prefer, you can buy the next one earlier as soon as you’re ready.
This format helps you maintain a steady pace and avoid putting your learning on hold for too long.
