Participants are encouraged to bring their own budgets for analysis during this course.

Frequently asked question: I want to attend the class by myself - do you offer classes for individuals to attend or do I have to have a team attend?
Answer: Currently, vivED is only offering this course as an entire package. However, if there is enough demand, we will offer this course for individuals to attend for a per-person fee.

Frequently asked question: I don't have any money to spend on technology, is this class worthless to me?
Answer: Not at all - you're eventually going to have money to spend on technology, and when you do, you'll want to be prepared to spend it effectively. This course will make sure you are ready for that seemingly distant challenge. You might want to check out vivED's course on External Funding for Technology.
