Practical information about this course and getting everything set up to follow this course.
The Format
This is an asynchronous event. This means there are no live sessions but we provide videos and training manuals for you to work through at your own pace, and at your own convenience.
If you get stuck or want to discuss any of the aspects of the training, there are instructors available on Slack chat to guide you.
The Program
The program can be found on this page. Click on a session to expand it, and find the video, as well as all the infomation you need for the session listed below it.
Since the training materials are updated frequently, the video may be using a slightly older version of the tutorial. Below the video you will find links to both the latest version of the tutorial, and the version used in the video.
Videos
All videos are on YouTube, and have captions (subtitles).
Use Gear icon on video to set:
