@Hope For the Content Development and Marketing I thought members could join if they had been here for at least a month, is that no longer the case?
You also don't mention the member requirements fo rthe Leadership Development course - it appears to be for listeners only from your post and I did complete that.

Hi there, I hope all is well. I am interested in a few programs. I was wondering if I am able to apply for more than one program? If so, can I do more than one program at once or would I have to choose depending on which program I get in? Also, is it easy to get in to these programs or are they oversubscribed? Thank you for taking the time to read.
@sellistens
You can apply for more than 1 at a time but we recommend that you do one at a time and max two at a time. Most of our programs require around 5 hours a week so it is important to have the availability to dedicate your time and not burn yourself out
Thank you for letting me know
@Hope Can we enrol into any of these programs at any given time? Or is there a time crunch on when you can enrol? And can we do more than one program?
@optimisticBlossom66 About your first question: they do onboarding every week, so you can enroll at any choosen week.
@optimisticBlossom66 One can do all of the programs from a listener account. I don't recommend doing more than 1 at a time though due to the time commitment and I'm not even sure if they allow enrollment for more than 1 at a time. If you want to dedicate more time, some of the programs you can progress at your own pace, so you can just finish sooner than anticipated. That's not possible for all though.
@AffyAvo Thank you! I agree. I thought more of doing another one after it. :)
