Recommended Pathways

While we make every effort for courses to be accessible to all skill levels, we do have courses that require participation in previous courses. This is to ensure that the course is relevant and able to be completed by attendees without feeling lost or unskilled.

Course progression is stepped through the order listed below, from left to right. This ensures that participants have the skills needed to comfortably complete the next course. Participants can enter at any level, provided they have the tools to complete the level accordingly. This can be demonstrated by sharing a personal project with the Course Leaders to demonstrate competency and ensure value for money for the next course.
