      Just what I’m looking for….

      I’m not a training.ithemes.com member, yet….so if I miss the course itself, I can access it later, by videos, at any time, if I’m a member? Correct?

      I can’t seem to get an answer to this question by using the training.ithemes.com enquiry form, so I’m asking it here.

      Thanks

        Yes, all members have access to watch all replays of WebDesign.com live training events. So even if you missed a live event you’ll be able to view the full chat logs from the chat room as well as rewatch the recordings.
