Hey, Hope! I don’t have an Academy Hub Room in my list of group chats and I’m supposed to be there tomorrow 😭
@ItsMeJax
i saw your message in the lcr
as I recall they are do not do the orientations any more. They discontinued them a while back.
I wonder why they would add it to the email? 😭
@ItsMeJax
here the post where they said they got rid of orientation https://www.7cups.com/forum/academy/AcademyPrograms_2311/AcademySessionsElectiveRemoval_313858/
@ItsMeJax I will look into this and make sure we remove it Jax.
Thank you for bringing this up
@ItsMeJax

I already did the listener quizzes when I. Did Qlp.
Do I need to do them agagin for gsp program?
@Powerandsunset25
Listener quizzes are not included in the GSP Coursework.
@Hope
I think confused started by reading one thing I need to do to graduate
Completed Listener Quizzes: General Participation, Safety and Reporting & Being Welcoming & Inclusive
@Powerandsunset25
If you've ever completed a required task for a program or role at 7 Cups, it counts for all others as well. That's one reason that it's a good idea to do more than one program. They become easier as you go, not only because you've already adapted to the rhythm of learning and time-management, but also because some of the requirements are the same, so there's less to do.
@Hope I'm enrolled in the student track. How can I calculate my hours? I can see the number of chats but I don't know hot to calculate my hours.
@incredibleRiver2715
Hello River, you can check your number of hours here https://www.7cups.com/listener/training/courses/ . Just click on the certification button here and you will be able to see your listening hours !!!!
@Hope I just received the Internship Seat Confirmed email. In that email, there is a Google sheet attached. It should have contained the number of chats and forum posts I am at. However, both of it is 0 for me but I actually am not at 0. Is it normal?
@Omurice1904
That seems to be an error. This is the actual number in our system, forum posts - 4. chats 113
I will edit the sheet you have access to soon to reflect the same
@Hope Thanks a lot
@Hope
Hello, dear mentors.
I am MarwaneB, a new intern here.
Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to everybody working here for their tremendous effort. I am truly thankful for the amazing opportunity and honor I have to embark on this internship.
The initial start date for my internship was supposed to be the 18th of December. However, in the Important Dates sheet I received, it is mentioned as the 11th of December, leading to other dates being a week ahead.
I kindly request guidance on how to proceed.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
MarwaneB
@MarwaneB
Ooh it could be a error, I guess, no worries, you can proceed as per the date you chose for internship to begin and follow through that!
@yourbuddy30 / @anusha can of course make any necessary changes here!
Ooh and good luck for your journey ahead, Marwane!💛
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
OMG! Hello there!! Wow, whenever I need assistance, you're always the first person to show up!
You're my favorite listener indeed! Thank you so much for everything <3
@Hope
CDM. I completed Discussion 4 and submitted trial form. I need guidance with article writing. Also what is title approval for article.. I am confused.
@enigmaticpanda4152
Hi there, enigmaticpanda4152! It's great to have you join the CDM program. I took that one and really enjoyed it. I bet you will as well. The good news is that the discussions walk you through everything, from how to create punchy titles, to how to set up your article sources. Here's where you'll find all the links that you'll need to complete the training. It includes the article title approval form and more.
Sometimes it's hard to navigate the community forum to find exactly what you need (or maybe it's just me who has that issue). This is the filtered down version that should provide more guidance about article writing and other CDM academy program discussions.
Also, don't hesitate to reach out to your mentors if you need further help. They're a fantastic resource for bouncing article ideas off of. You can find your list of mentors right here. I can say with confidence that the CDM mentors are friendly and incredibly insightful. They welcome interaction with the trainees.
Good luck with your training. I bet you'll rock it!
@enigmaticpanda4152
Good luck with the program
I am due to begin the CDM program today. But how do I actually get to the program to start it? The email gave no mention of that.
@ThoughtLight You can start working on the courses Thought.
@yourbuddy30 I got it figured out. Thank you. I had something else pictured in my head to begin with for how the program itself would go.
