The flow of this class:

Each 312 Digital class follows a similar format.

1. 1. Each  class is a full day of intense instruction designed to teach you exactly what you need to know in order to market your business online.
2. Each class is made up of four different two hour segments taught by local experts who practice what they preach - each instructor is expert in the area they teach with up-to-date skills.
3. Each two hour class section follows the following basic approach:

• 90 minutes of lecture and Q&A (some instructors prefer to hold Q&A until the end of lecture, others encourage it during their discussion).
• 30 minutes of small group breakout session to discuss what you learned from the previous 90 minutes and how you plan to apply those concepts to your business. This will encourage deeper relationships with your fellow students and give you an opportunity to embed the content from the previous session by thinking about and discussing it in the context of your specific business.
