The program is scheduled to begin on 13 March 2023, and the 3-months learning journey will conclude by end of May 2023.

Class schedule and time commitment:

• The program comprises 72 synchronous (live/real-time) learning hours, of which 60 hours are dedicated to plenary seminars and skill development modules, and 12 hours towards challenge project work.

These workshops will occur at the beginning and during the middle of the program duration.
• Outside the bootcamp workshops, a typical week would require 6-7 hours of live classes attendance, which are distributed across two workday evenings and a Saturday morning (Bali time). A sample schedule from the 2021 intake can be downloaded here.
• Additional to the live sessions, there will be roughly equal amount of asynchronous (self- or group-organized learnings) hours to complete pre- and post-class assignments and challenge project work.
