Course overview

The Sprint Pro

This page is the trial. The button on this page buys the Sprint Pro Trial at $34.99, not the full course. The trial gives you Essentials with one month of access, one Task 1 and one Task 2 diagnosed in full with short lessons on your top five issues, and one live group lesson. The $34.99 comes off the price of Sprint Pro if you go on to buy it. What follows describes the full course.
Sprint Pro. Everything in Sprint, plus twelve live sessions taught from your own group's writing. $349.99, or $279.99 for the first ten places.
Sprint Pro is the full writing course with teaching attached.
How it works. You get the twelve diagnostic cycles exactly as they run in Sprint: you write, your report comes back in minutes, it names the five things holding your band down and shows you where each one happens in your own text, and it sends you to the modules that train them. Then you write again on a new question of the same task type and the comparison shows you what changed.
On top of that, twelve live group sessions, roughly every second day inside the month, on Microsoft Teams.
The sessions are not a fixed lesson plan written in advance. Each one is built from what the diagnostic reports of your own group are showing that week, so the teaching goes where the group's problems actually are rather than where a syllabus says they should be.
Groups are capped at ten people, so there is room for your writing to be looked at.
What you get. All twelve diagnostic cycles, one per chapter. Up to twenty-four pieces of writing diagnosed in the month, two per chapter. Estimated bands for each of the four marking criteria, on every submission. Twelve live group sessions, in a group of no more than ten. Every practice module, routed to you by what your own reports find. The discussion board. One month of access from the day you open the course.
Price. $349.99 standard. $279.99 for the first ten places. This is the founding price for the first group, and it is the only reduction on Sprint Pro. If you took the Sprint Pro Trial, the $34.99 you paid comes off either price.
Who this is for. You have a deadline, you have been stuck at the same band, and you would rather be taught than work through it alone.
Access. One month from the day you open the course. Session times are published before you buy. Sessions are not recorded, and if you miss one it is not repeated.
