About the lesson

Members need points to take lessons. Below the instructor's image, the number of points is listed. The higher the number of points, the higher the reward per lesson. The number of points can be changed after the trial period.

Flow to participate in the lesson

If you register a schedule from the instructor management screen, the schedule will be displayed on the site side. After seeing it, the member makes a schedule reservation. At that time, start Zoom and the lesson will start.

After the lesson ...

You will be asked to make a "completion report" to report whether the lesson was done properly.
Work location
