This series is aiming to help you complete your IDI Certificate course within the allocated 12 months. But I believe you can do it in 12 weeks if you follow along with this series! I will show you in the first few episodes how you can complete the course using free software and tools. You don't need anything fancy.

I completed the IDI Certificate in 12 months (graduated November 11, 2022), and during that process I procrastinated and did nothing for eight months to get there. I don't want anyone else to do what I did or pay to extend their course. Let us get this done together!

Each episode will cover one module. Subscribe to get ahead today.
