10Weekly Forms, Certificate of Completion & Stage 2

10.1

Purpose. The Stage 1 Certificate of Completion confirms that you have taken part in all eight classes, in order, at the weekly pace the course is designed around. It is required for entry to Stage 2, and it forms part of a single qualification across all three stages.

10.2

To qualify, you will: (a) complete all eight classes, in order; (b) submit a Question and Sharing Form for each class, eight forms in total; and (c) submit each form within 5 days of its class being released, so that your questions can be included in that class's Q&A Guide. A reminder email is sent on the fourth day.

10.3

One late form. One form may be late. A late form is accepted up to 7 days after its due date, and you still qualify for the certificate. Questions in a late form may not appear in that class's Q&A Guide.

10.4

When the certificate is not available. If more than one form is late, or a form is not received, the certificate is not available for this enrollment.

10.5

Your own pace. You are welcome to take the course at your own pace, and your access to the classes and materials is unaffected. The certificate recognizes the weekly rhythm that prepares you for Stage 2, so it is available only when the requirements above are met.

10.6

How you receive it. Your certificate is issued automatically, with your name and my signature, once your eighth form has been received and all requirements are met.

10.7

Retaking Stage 1. If you do not qualify for the Certificate of Completion and later decide you would like to continue to Stage 2, you may retake Stage 1 at half price when you enroll in Stage 2. The Stage 2 application form includes an option to request both courses. Stage 2 is released once you have met the certificate requirements on your second enrollment in Stage 1. This is not a penalty. Each stage asks for more commitment than the one before, and meeting the Stage 1 requirements in full is what prepares you for the next.

10.8

No obligation to continue. Stage 1 is a complete course in its own right, and you are welcome to take it on its own. Choosing to continue to Stage 2, and later to Stage 3, is always your decision. Each stage asks for more than the one before, and not every stage will be right for everyone.
