Q: WHY IS THERE A GAP BETWEEN WHEN REGISTRATION ENDS AND WHEN THE COURSE BEGINS?

Q: DO I NEED TO DOWNLOAD ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE FOR THE WORKSHOP?
A: No additional software is needed. The workshop is a web-based platform, so all you need is an internet connection.
Video load time will depend on your network and internet connection. Different browsers require different network speeds. For the best experience, we recommend using the Google Chrome browser. If you live in an area with slower internet speeds, you may want to try Vivaldi or Opera. We do NOT recommend using Internet Explorer.
Q: WHEN WILL I GET ACCESS TO ALL OF THE WORKSHOP CONTENT?
A: We release one module per week of the six-week course, starting on January 10th. You will receive an email each Friday during the workshop letting you know the next module is available. At the end of the six weeks, you will have access to all of the content and you can watch and re-watch the videos at your convenience. Sorry, but we cannot release any modules early.
Q: DO I NEED TO LOG IN AT A SPECIFIC TIME EACH WEEK?
A: No. There isn't a specific time you need to log in to access the workshop content. Once a workshop module is released, you can watch the video lessons any day or time you want, whenever it is most convenient for you.

Q: WHERE DO I LOG IN TO THE FLORET ONLINE WORKSHOP?

Q: WHERE DO I FIND THE WORKSHOP PDF DOWNLOADS?
A: At the bottom of each Module is a "Downloads" section that includes a number of PDF documents that you can download and print. Please note: this information is already included in your course packet and not all pages of the 2019 Course Packet are available as PDFs. We included digital versions of select pages that are useful to print and use year after year. The "Alumni Worksheet Updates" section is for our 2018 students to access the new or modified information for 2019. All of this information is already included in the 2019 Course Packet.
Q: I'M HAVING TROUBLE VIEWING THE VIDEOS/ THE VIDEOS ARE CHOPPY OR SOMETIMES "FLICKER." WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A: First, be sure to close all other browser windows and any other programs that are open on your computer, then refresh your browser (we recommend using Google Chrome). If you continue to experiencing issues, you may need to clear your cache or update your browser.
Another option is to try using Vivaldi or Opera as your web browser, as they do not require high internet connection speeds to view videos. Note: We do NOT recommend using Internet Explorer.
Q: I'M A MEMBER OF THE CLASS OF 2018. WHAT NEW CONTENT DID YOU ADD TO THE 2019 COURSE?
A: In the Downloads area of Module 1 is a new section called "Alumni Worksheet Updates" where you can find PDFs of any pages that were added, edited or modified from your 2018 Course Packet. In this area you also will find the "New Video Outline" PDF that summarizes all new videos that have been added across the entire workshop curriculum.
