Next Steps

QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.

Look out for an email one day before, and one hour before the class with the Zoom link and class materials. If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder or reach out to help@generalassemb.ly and we’ll make sure you’re set up.
Just one hour. And, if you can’t make it, you’ll get the recording so you can watch it in as many chunks, as many times as you need.
You bet—we want you to continue practicing and referencing the things you learned long after your class ends. You should receive the recording and any in-class materials via email within one week of your class.
We don’t think access to education should ever be cut off, so all of our class recordings are available indefinitely—you can revisit the content as often as you want, for as long as you need.
Think of free classes as the “ice cream sample spoon.” No cost, no commitment, and you can try as many flavors as you want. Free classes are one-to-two hours long and hosted in a Zoom webinar where participant audio/video is automatically off, and interaction is contained within Zoom chat and Q&A functions. Workshops, on the other hand, are more like the “single scoop.” It costs a little, but you get a lot more. Workshops are three-to-seven hours of live instruction hosted in a Zoom meeting room where participants can share audio/video and interact live with instructors and classmates.
1 REFUND POLICY
We understand that, sometimes, plans change. If you can no longer make it to a class or workshop, please email us at least 7 days before the scheduled event date. No refunds will be given to cancellations made within a week of the class or workshop.
