Noor,
I e-mailed you a few weeks ago to try to catch up but the e-mail address was rejected. I did see however that you signed up for the free introductory lesson and the e-mail lessons. Hopefully these have answered any questions you may have had. If not please feel free to contact me directly via this site.

Anil, Good to hear from you.
The course duration is open ended, there is no time limit at all, unlike some other courses.
The course is fully online, so you can access it from anywhere in the world and your certificate won’t have the word ‘online’ on it.
There are currently two options for the fee – Either pay the currently discounted rate of $997.00 by credit card or you can pay by 4 monthly installments of $250 to help spread the cost.
You will be given access to the student centre as soon as payment is made.
Best wishes for your certification and future career.
Paul Swift,
Master Black Belt.
