Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no charge and you don't need to buy the course. Register with your name and email.

What if I can't make it live?

Register anyway. We record the speakers and shared screen, and email the recording to everyone who registers.

What do I need to join?

A laptop, tablet or phone with Google Meet (it runs in your browser). We'll email you the joining link before the day.

Will you talk about real exam content?

No. Candidates may not share exam content, so we teach from the public DM Guidance and our own technique. The exam sets the exercises and teeth on the day.
