So, what is an on-demand Smekens workshop?
In the era of online learning, our webAcademy on-demand workshops provide a convenient alternative to attending a live event. Now educators can tap into our engaging video recordings whenever it’s most convenient.
Whether you watch an on-demand workshop with your staff or as an individual, you’ll love the 60-day access period that allows you to watch the workshop gradually, on your unique timeline. And, just like with the live presentations, our self-paced online workshops provide the same energy, enthusiasm, and motivation that comes standard with every Smekens workshop.
