Common questions

Do the courses cost anything?

No. Every course listed here is free. You create a login on the course platform so it can save your progress, and that is the only thing asked of you.

Do I need to have read the book first?

No. The courses stand on their own and start from first principles. They do follow the same ideas as Open Doors, so reading it alongside will reinforce both, and the companion on this site maps the chapters to the drills.

Where do the courses actually run?

On Open Doors Academy, Dr. Crosse's course platform. Clicking a course opens it there. Your progress and any certificate live on that platform, not on this site.

How long does a course take?

The Open Doors Blueprint is about 60 minutes across 13 lessons. You do not have to finish in one sitting — it remembers where you stopped.
