Kyma Courses

The courses take place over 4 weeks. There is a 2-hour online teaching session once a week, usually on a Friday at 16:00 UTC. Some self-study tasks are set for the week and there is support over slack during the course. The numbers are kept low (5 or 6 people) to make it really participatory and collaborative.

I create a syllabus for each course but, with the small group, there will also be the opportunity to look at your areas of interest. In the first session I ask everyone if there's anything particular they'd like to cover and we'll do our best to look at those too.

Cost: £ 240 (GBP) for the 4 week course.

If you're interested in a general introduction course to Kyma aimed at the beginner, or any of the courses listed below, send me an email. When there's enough interest I'll put a course and date together.

Individual and Group Coaching

I currently have a slot available for 1 hour individual Kyma coaching sessions. I do this online using screensharing and video conferencing. The program is completely tailored for you. Generally I'll set some homework or suggest a direction for self-study during the week. I'm available on slack chat if you get stuck. Then we meet up online once a week or every two weeks, discuss what you've done then look at what you want to do next. It's a hands on approach. You'll be doing everything in Kyma yourself, sharing your screen while I'll be helping and guiding you.

Cost: £ 60 (GBP) per session for an individual.
