All BBST® courses are delivered fully online. The videos, lectures, and content can be viewed at the participant’s convenience, whenever they have time. The materials and content are always available and there are no specific hours when you need to be online to take part in the lessons and assignments.

We do have deadlines for homework and quizzes twice a week for the first 3 weeks (on Saturdays and Wednesdays at midnight, GMT+2) so the participants need to post their answers before that, at a time that suits them best, and they will receive grades and feedback in writing from their instructors after the deadline.

The last week of the course will be dedicated to the final exam. You get to prepare for it during the first part of the week, and you will need to post your exam submission (written answers to 6 essay style questions) by Saturday, at midnight (GMT+2).

There are two activities throughout the class where you would need to be available at exact times if you want to attend them (but they are not mandatory):

1. Interactive Grading: After the exam week (the last week of the class), you will get a chance to have a 1.5-hour session with one of the instructors to receive feedback on your exam answers. The instructors will open available time slots at some point during the class, and you get a chance to sign up for a time slot that works for you. We try to cover most time zones, but since most of our instructors are in Europe, most of the available time slots will be morning and afternoon/evening time GMT + 2.
2. Online Sessions with the instructors: we try to organize one or two sessions online with all the instructors to answer questions or discuss topics related to the course. These are optional, and you don’t need to join them unless you want to. We try to offer these sessions as some sort of “office hours” sessions, so the participants can interact directly with the instructors, but they are not essential for the successful completion of the class.
