This course is available anywhere you have an internet connection. The teaching and challenges are relevant internationally.

All of the lessons are subtitled in English. Kevin teaches in clear, easy-to-understand language and avoids using jargon wherever possible. However, subtitles may make it easier for some people to understand, so we’ve included them.
