If I wish to join the online learning, how do I register to secure a place in a course?
A tab called 'Register Interest Here' is available for Public, Open and Diverse Community courses, which will require you to complete contact details. One month prior to the course commencement, an email shall be sent to you, requesting payment through the 'Embers' online payment gateway.  No commitment is required until you have secured payment, and similarly no guarantee of a place on the course will exist until payment has been made.
A tab called 'Expression of Interest' is available for 'In-House Customized Courses' and also 'International Development and Aid Courses'

What would happen if I am away for some of the time during the learning?
All courses are accessed online, and hence allow 24/7 access, no matter where you are in the world.  Each week releases a new module, and to be a successful contributor of the Embers community, we recommend a minimum of 2 hours access (reflection and contribution).
