  3. You'll do an exercise at the end of every section to get your own workbook to the same point as I got to in the lesson. Either do these exercises by following the instructions on-screen or by using the downloadable exercise book
  4. Finally, you'll make make your own notes, a kind of quick reference guide to refer back to using the 'Personal Quick Reference Guide’ 

If you have a question about a topic just ask in the lesson or in the supporting Facebook Group and I'll answer.
