Got Questions?

What's included in an MWU Class?

Our formal classes include a lecture and usually a quiz, and additional resource material. The class content is all accessible when online.

I'm interested in a particular class - when can I take it?

Classes are online and available now! MWU is designed so students can study at their own pace and on their own schedule. From time to time - we launch a new classes - which often debut live before being posted online.

What's the difference between a "class" and a "full-length" course?

Currently, MWU offers two full length courses: the 8 class FUNDAMENTALS COURSE and the 16 class ADVANCED COURSE. The curriculum's sequence of classes is designed by Chris Bedford to provide the best education. Students can also enroll in any of the individual classes of the Fundamentals Course - and many start out by doing just that - before upgrading to a full-length course.

Can I repeat an online class?

Yes, registered students have 24/7 access and can replay lectures and review course content for the length of their enrollment.

I'm interested - but not sure about spending all that money for a full-length course without seeing it.

Why don't you "try" out MWU's formal curriculum by enrolling in a single class - the first class in our curriculum (Clouds & Marine Weather) . If you decide you want to upgrade to a full course afterwards - we'll give you credit for your Class #1 purchase. If you are not satisfied with any of our courses, we will refund your tuition within 30 days of enrollment.
