There is something extremely powerful about being in the room if you can. But that isn't always possible, so we've made our online programme the best it can be.. Our Connect classes are fully interactive. You’ll train with Fellowship-qualified tutors, receive real-time feedback, and be part of the same group as in-person students. We’ve had students complete the entire DDE course online and pass their ISTD exams with excellent results. The standard is the same, only the location changes.

That’s exactly why we built in flexibility. Every session is recorded and available for two weeks, so you can catch up when it suits you. Even if you’re learning on catch-up, you’ll have direct access to your tutor via WhatsApp or voice note, so you’ll always feel connected and supported.

Absolutely. Many of our students join entirely via Zoom and are still fully integrated into group discussions, lesson planning, and peer support. You’ll be able to ask questions live, share progress, and even collaborate with classmates around the world. RDC is built on connection, distance doesn’t make you an outsider, it just widens our community.
