When you attend the live seminar you are taught by a certified instructor with thirty people or fewer. Students do receive class materials different from the home study course.
The home study course is basically a different way to learning PhotoReading. You listen to the audio tapes or CDs and follow the skill-building exercises to learn the steps of PhotoReading. For someone who is a more visual learner and prefers a hands on approach, the seminar is probably the best way to go. For a more auditory learner or someone who prefers to move along at their own pace, the home study course may be the way to go. Participants of the seminar say they enjoy the experience and interaction with the other participants in their class as much as learning the PhotoReading techniques.
The seminar discount is offered to those who buy the home study course from Learning Strategies.
