      When each module runs

      Fixed weekly slots across five days. Every module is available on the weekend, including a full weekend-only route for learners who want to avoid weekday commitments.

      Weekend-only pathway

      M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, and M6 all have Saturday or Sunday slots, so you can complete the full Foundations and Mastery pathway without a weekday commitment.

      Saturday back-to-back sessions

      M3 (11:00–15:00) and M4 (15:00–19:00) run one after the other on Saturday, making it easy to complete both machine-focused modules in one day.

      Sunday runs four modules in parallel

      M1, M2, M5, and M6 all run at the same time on Sunday in different workshop areas, so there is no session clash.
