How do your courses work?
​
Our courses were built with hybrid learning in mind. Depending on the course, they are either on-demand video courses, on-demand video courses paired with livestreamed/ in-person learning components, or fully in-person. If you purchase a course with an on-demand video course component, you can access this video for 1 year by signing into your account on newimpactsociety.com .
