Not sure which fits best?

Drop us a message and we can talk it through. Most people who are close to the FL2D subject matter and working in an active organisational context get more from the live formats. Self-paced works well for independent practitioners and those building knowledge ahead of a planned initiative.

Choose Self-Paced if…

Your schedule doesn't allow two consecutive days away, or you want to revisit sections and take longer over the design work. The trainer consultation sessions mean you still get personal guidance — just on your terms rather than a fixed timetable.

Choose in-person or Online if...

You want to work through real design challenges with a live group, get immediate feedback from a trainer, and benefit from the energy of a structured two-day session. Most people find the group dynamic accelerates their learning considerably.
