Welcome to the Wizards Online Course
This is a brief guide on how your journey through this course will work.
You have full access to both courses — Foundations and Masters.
The lessons themselves are located within those course areas.
This page is your hub — a place to keep track of what to do after you’ve worked through the course content, along with important information, downloads, and your live training schedule.
Your Learning Journey
Each course can take anywhere from a solid weekend of focused study, to a few months of moving slowly, taking notes, and really integrating the work.
This is your journey — your pace, your way of learning.
The only requirement is that both courses are completed before your Live Training Days.
