Hi,
Can I ask why is the weekday schedule more expensive than the weekend schedule?
Thanks,

@del: 1) because we have to pull instructors from their day jobs, 2) because we really want you to attend the weekend workshops which offer a better time frame for proper absorption of the lessons, 3) this is only for people who really can’t attend the weekend workshops for one reason or another, foremost of which is that they live far from metromanila. that is why we are now starting to bring the workshops to the provinces. our “more expensive” weekday workshop is still cheaper than those available somewhere else, and we think we offer a deeper workshop here; we are not looking at the bottom line, we are a non-profit foundation – remember that.

@pao: paspasan yung weekdays, pao, unlike weekend sessions where you have a week in between to do your assignments or practice what you have learned. aside from that, there’s not much difference between weekday sessions and weekend sessions as far as content is concerned. we recommend weekdays only for those who really can’t attend the weekend classes, like overseas workers on short vacation at home, very busy people and those from the provinces who cannot attend our weekend workshops. incidentally, we have scrapped the weekday sessions for advanced because we can’t constitute the minimum 15 participants for a workshop. our weekdays as of now is for basic only.
