How long do the story interviewing courses take?

Our core program is self-paced with 6 modules designed to be completed over 4 to 6 weeks. Each module includes video lessons, practice interviews, and feedback checklists.

  • Estimated weekly commitment: 3–5 hours
  • Live coaching option: weekly 60-minute group sessions
  • Lifetime access to updates
Do I get a certificate after completion?

Yes. You’ll receive a verifiable digital certificate and a shareable credential link. Graduates can add the certificate to LinkedIn with one click inside their dashboard.

We also issue a printable PDF certificate that includes your name, completion date, and unique certificate ID.

Are there prerequisites to enroll?

No prior experience is required. The only prerequisite is curiosity. The early sections cover foundations of narrative listening, bias checks, and ethical consent.

We provide optional primers if you’re new to interviewing or switching from journalism/UX research.

What’s the difference between live coaching and self-paced?

Self-paced includes on-demand lessons and practice prompts. Live coaching adds weekly cohort calls, hot-seat feedback, and portfolio reviews.

  • Self-paced: start anytime, go at your speed
  • Live: fixed start dates, supportive cohort, accountability
