How it fits together

Every course ends in a job, and every job comes with a tool

You don't browse a library and hope. Each week the system gives you two jobs (about 20 minutes each) from the move you are on, with the tool and the template attached. Do them and the week is secured. Pass the course test and you earn its certificate and badge. Ask The Room when you're stuck.

Training

The Path: twelve moves, one a month, in the order that works

The spine of the membership. Each move is a short course of 10 to 12 lessons with a downloadable kit, its own tool, the real jobs, and a test at the end. Pass it and you earn the certificate and the badge.
