Frequently Asked Questions

  • I have never learnt anything online before. How does this work?

    Each topic is divided into Introduction and Tutorial videos. You have lifetime access to all the videos and can watch them step-by-step to learn. You can go through the videos of each topic at your own learning pace. You can even re-watch the videos.

  • What if I have a doubt. How do I get it cleared?

    You can comment your query directly below the video lecture. Also, once you enrol, you will be added to the Students Group on Facebook. You can post your queries there and get them answered from me and also other students from all over. You can always reach out to me on email at [email protected]

  • What materials are required for this course?

    You need brush pens for this particular course. You can buy any brush pens available at your nearest stationery shop or Amazon and then once you learn, keep experimenting with different brands. You can also give it a shot with a paintbrush. I have also added a few sections where you will be taught how to do calligraphy with a basic pencil or marker. For more clarity, you can watch the free preview video on the materials required.

  • I am planning to take calligraphy as a career. Will this course help?

    Of course, yes. This course teaches you the basic concepts and is the first step you can take to begin your journey. This course will give you resources to expand your knowledge on calligraphy and take it as a career. Be it a calligraphy instructor, a baker, a logo designer, a graphic designer, or a tattoo artist, I have helped people from all businesses to learn calligraphy and use it professionally.

  • Will I get a certificate?

    Of course, yes. Once you have completed your final project, you will submit a picture of that via email at [email protected]. Once I receive your final project, I will issue a digital certificate within a week of submission.
