Class Overview

Looking for a one-day beginner course before you jump into the content-specific classes at EQ Academy? Start your EQ Academy weekend with this fun and motivating class to tune up your EQ8 skills. You will cover the key features in EQ8 so you’re ready to explore the other topic-based classes on Friday and Saturday. This course will help provide a smooth transition into the other EQ8 topics you’re excited to learn!

If you have not taken the 2-day beginner class at EQ Academy, or similar beginner class at another venue, we highly recommend that you take either of those options before taking this class. This class is for those who’ve taken a beginner class and looking for a refresher before jumping into more topic-based classes.
