The structure of the program is that we have 12 live classes, two days each NOA 301-312. After each of the Live classes, we will have online lessons NOA 301W-311W. Each live class has an associate online lesson, which has 5 topics in each lesson, with each topic being 1 hour long.

For example, after you have attended the two days long NOA 301 Live class, you will be required to complete the Lesson called NOA 301W, that has 5 x 1-hour topics associated with it; topic 1-5. Topic 5, the last topic in the lesson, has a comprehensive lesson quiz, that completes that lesson.

In short summary: 12 Live courses 2 days each, 11 Online lessons, 55 Online topics 1 hour each.

12x Live NOA 301-312 courses/11x Online Lesson NOA 301W-311W/Topics 1-5 in each lesson.

You will find all of your online lessons NOA 301W-311W and their associated 5 topics each here. You will get access to each of the lessons with the associated 5 topics as they get published throughout the two-year program.

Do this in detail! The outline-index may change during the process of writing, but the clearer you are at this point about which data to use where and on how to use it, the easier the actual writing will be!
