Duration

The duration of this course may vary depending on the in-depth study desired. The choice depends on the participants’ needs and current vs. intended level of expertise. Both options clearly have value, but the longer one allows the topic to be explored in more detail, with a more practical approach as well.

1. 8-hour: this option is ideal for a general overview of the topic. It covers the key points and provides an overview. It is suitable for those who need a basic knowledge or have limited time available.
