Do I have to be at every session? How long are they?
Each session is 1.5 hours, and the course is comprised of 4 sessions. Recordings will be available the night after the session, but you’ll get a lot more from engaging live, asking questions, and being there for the interactive parts.
Will I be a claims expert after finishing this course?
No. We’ll teach you the foundations of claims and how to get started, but becoming proficient with claims takes years of learning. However, we do fully expect that you will be able to engage with any material that arises about claims at your organization or beyond, and learn more if you wish to do so.
Is there a lot of work?
We really believe you will get out what you put in. You could just watch the lectures and still learn something, but we very intentionally curated pre-reads and designed assignments that would help you truly grasp what we introduce in the lectures.
