Social proof: testimonials
I loved this course!
The course was great! I love, for example, your approach to setting the foot stretcher for Novices with the seat relative to the front stops. Smart and helpful stuff!
Being able to re-watch the videos time and time again was really beneficial
Your best work yet!
FAQ
-
What makes you qualified to teach Beginning Sweep Rigging?
Besides being a college teacher and rowing coach for over 30 years, I have: • written 7 books about rigging and rowing • over 250,000 people have watched my rigging videos • I was the boatman for the US national rowing team for many years • I've taught over 100 rigging workshops around the country (I kinda live-and-breathe this stuff!)
-
Can I preview the course before I buy?
Absolutely. The first two modules are in preview mode, meaning you can go through them and then make your buying decision.
-
How long will I have access?
You get access to the course once you purchase it and as long as the course is being offered. You don’t lose access when the course registration page closes.
-
How detailed is the course?
There are a total of 48 lessons, and 30 videos, each 5-10 minutes long. You don’t have to do the lessons in order, you can go directly to the ones you need. I don’t want you spending time in the course, I want you to learn quickly from it, then get rigging your equipment.
-
Can I watch the videos as much as I want?
You can, an unlimited time, which is a great way to reinforce your learning.
-
Can I ask questions?
Absolutely. There's a discussion group for each module and I will check in and respond frequently. Other students can respond too.
-
What is your refund policy?
You can get a refund if you don’t find value in the course within 30 days (ample time to go through the lessons). Less than .05% of folks have ever asked for a refund from my materials, so I’m confident you’ll get a lot of use fromthe course.
