Welcome to a comprehensive, self-paced beginners’ course that aims to transform young students into not only well-spoken, confident and understanding academics but also delegates of intelligence, curiosity and smarts. Upon engaging with and applying our 10 exciting modules, students can align themselves with these qualities and earn a certificate upon submitting a small personal research project*

This course is designed for High School students or beginner students in the field of academic communication, but we believe anyone can benefit from this course to build on and strengthen skills. A more advanced course is projected to be released sometime in the near future.

If you want to access the slideshows, please scroll to the bottom of this page. However, a certificate is only awarded upon completion of all activities and lessons.

Good luck getting started, and have fun!

*A certificate is awarded after reviewing your activity submissions AND independent research project (these must be completed to a decent standard to earn a certificate). If you do not receive a certificate after a week, email [email protected] or DM students_ofspirit on Instagram.
