Not at all! Remember Aesop’s Fables, Panchatantra and the likes? And all the lessons you learnt as a kid? The human mind is naturally hooked to stories. Learning about different concepts through stories can improve your retention seven-fold.
Our course is structured into 6 modules. Each of these comprises animated video lessons, flashcards, application and reflection exercises which will make it engaging for you.
