Testimonials
How does it work?
Anyone joining Bootcamp will be expected to work just as hard, and take criticism with the same humility as our full time students. They will be asked to do some pre-reading and will be set a soul-searching brief all before their first day
of Bootcamp.
A lesson plan will be sent before each half-day and homework will be set to help prepare for each session. The classes will be collaborative and will allow for great networking opportunities as they're greeted by SCA students, alumni and our award-winning faculty.
Classes are always interactive, two-way experiences, and we believe that learning happens best when we test new theories in a safe environment, with time and space for feedback and reflection. Your colleagues and employees will be getting the real SCA sauce. Undiluted.
