QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.

We understand that sometimes plans change. If you can no longer make it to a class or workshop, please email help@ga.co at least 7 days before the scheduled event date. No refunds will be given to cancellations made within a week of the class or workshop.

Look out for an email one day before, and one hour before the workshop with the Zoom link and workshop materials. If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder or reach out to help@generalassemb.ly and we’ll make sure you’re set up.
Our workshops are split into two evening sessions that are each three hours long. Workshops typically take place on a Monday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday, from 3–6 p.m. PT/6–9 p.m. ET.
Don’t worry, we know life can be hectic — and unpredictable. If you can only make one session, you'll still have access to the recordings for the entire workshop that you can reference at any time.
You bet — we want you to continue practicing and referencing the things you learned long after your workshop ends. You should receive the recording and any in-class materials within one week of your workshop via email.
We don't believe your education should end when your workshop does, so you'll have plenty of time to access your class recordings to review and revisit what you've learned at your own pace.
YES. We love this for you. If you enroll in a short course within six months, or a bootcamp within one year of your workshop, you can apply what you paid for the workshop toward your course. Talk to an admissions specialist to learn more about this — no strings attached.
Think of free classes as the “sample spoon.” No cost, no commitment, and you can try as many flavors as you want. Free classes are two hours long and hosted in a Zoom webinar where participant audio/video is automatically off, and interaction is contained within Zoom chat and Q&A functions. Workshops, on the other hand, are more like the “single scoop.” It costs a little, but you get a lot more. Workshops are six hours of live instruction hosted in a Zoom meeting room where participants can share audio/video and interact live with instructors and classmates.
