Some questions about the OBOD courses

Hi there.

I'm still essentially at the beginning of my 'journey' into Paganism/Druidry. I have a strong desire to reconnect more with nature and wildlife and to be out more in natural areas around me, but there's so much information and so many different branches/paths of Paganism that I find it all a bit overwhelming.

I feel like I would learn better with a bit more guidance and structure, so I was thinking about signing up for the OBOD courses but had a few questions that don't seem to be answered by their FAQ.

  • The website mentions that they send you 'assignments' once a month. What kind of things do you have to do for these 'assignments'/'coursework'?
  • It states that the course should take around a year, perhaps longer, depending on what pace works for you. If you were to complete things faster than the average person, can you move onto the next, or do you have to wait for them to send you the next monthly 'assignment'?
  • If you do full course payment as opposed to monthly payments for both print & online, do you have access to the whole course immediately online, and do they send you the entire print course at once? Or is it monthly deliveries for the print copies?
  • After completing the Bard grade, is it the same price for the next grade course? It doesn't really explain how that side of things works.

Thanks in advance for your time.
