How Does the Online Course Work?

Access to Course

Registrants for this online TOB 1 course, will receive access to a filmed version of our in-person 5-day TOB 1 course and a digital course workbook from October 13-24, 2025. Registrants should plan to watch approximately three hours of material per day to complete the course in the given timeframe.
Course Set Up

The videos are from a previously recorded in-person TOB1. You can watch them on your own schedule, but we suggest committing 3 hours per day in order to get through all of the material. You will not have access to the videos beyond the end date of the course.
Resources and Direction

Each video session is complete with the resources used in the course, as well as directions for helping to make this online course, not only intellectually stimulating, but also spiritually fruitful.
Live Group Q&A Sessions

There will be live group Q&A sessions provided during that two-week period for all students who wish to participate. Details about dates and times of the sessions will be provided in an email you will receive after registering. Christopher West, Bill Donaghy, or Jen Settle will host the live sessions. These group sessions will be recorded for those students who cannot make the designated times and will be accessible through the online course portal.
Steps to Certification Program

Full participation in this course counts towards Certification and the Master’s Degree Programs. Students who wish to attend another course with TOBI or enter into the TOBI Certification Program, must watch all of the videos and complete a multiple choice exam at the end of the course. A passing grade of 80% is required for the exam.
