Online Distance Learning Course
All of our online distance learning courses run as private Facebook groups.
This is the only way you will be able to access the course content.
After completing your registration you will be directed to
the private Facebook group where you can request to join.
We will accept your request as soon as possible.
The course is open to brand new learners or will be a great refresher for anyone who's been to one of our workshops but needs a reminder of everything we covered.
For a fraction of the cost of joining Tracey at her studio you get full detailed instructional videos & support documents as well as live interaction with Tracey for full support & to ask her any questions you might have. We also encourage you to post pictures of your achievements & chat with other group members. These courses offer amazing value for money. You can join this course at any time.
