Question 1

Can the sessions be booked individually?

Accepted Answer

No. The course is designed as a 6-session package, therefore payment is for the whole course and it can't be split for individual weeks.

Question 2

I'm based outside of the UK. Is this course for me?

Accepted Answer

If you are an illustrator working professionally or aiming to further professionalise your practice, this course is for you. The course is delivered online through Zoom. While some of the sessions are based on UK law and tax codes, all content is relevant for international illustrators.

Question 3

I want to take part but I will not be available for all sessions. Will there be recordings?

Accepted Answer

The course is designed to be interactive, so we encourage all attendees to be active participants in each session.  If you can't attend in some weeks, we will make a recording available for a limited time to give you a chance to catch up before the next session.

Question 4

Will I receive a qualification or certificate by the end of the course?

Accepted Answer

This is a highly structured course but no qualifications or certificates will be given.

Question 5

I'd like to take part but I'm currently financially limited. Do you offer any discounts?

Accepted Answer

We want to be as inclusive as possible. If you are currently receiving Universal Credit, Jobseekers Allowance or similar, e-mail us at info@theaoi.com to be considered for a limited discounted place. Please note that we review each case individually,
