Each quarter we host a mentorship program with a new mentor. This enables us to cover each geographical location and language. Q1 is based on the USA timezones, however anyone is welcome to attend and take part in it. You do not need to be located in the US. Replays will be available if you are unable to attend live and as we host more programs, they will be available as replays to ALL emerging members, meaning you’ll have access to the archives. The purpose of the mentorship program is to gain a pathway to accreditation. At the end of your mentorship, your mentor will help you create a portfolio for submission should you choose to submit prior to your 12 month emerging membership ends. If you are approved, you’ll receive a discount code for your first year for the difference between your emerging tier price and your accredited tier price. In order to take part in our mentorship program, you’ll need to sign up to our Emerging Program. Still have questions? You can watch the video here. / Become an Emerging Member by clicking here.
