The program is planned to be conducted from 16th August to 10th October 2021. You would need to spend about 1 hour per week to be able to learn and absorb the content, and take the quizzes for each week.

​

The weekly material and quizzes will be posted here on this page every Monday under Links to Section-Wise Learning Material

For successful completion of the program, you will need to go over all the learning material as per timelines. Upon this, you will receive a certificate from YLAC. All the students who complete the program will also be eligible for a lottery and two students will win a tablet!

​

We urge you to participate in this program wholeheartedly, go through the program material as per the given timelines and commit to learning as much as possible from this experience.

​

We have some exciting learning content prepared for you in the form of videos, quizzes and real-life examples that will be shared with you starting next week! In the meantime, do check out this introductory video that captures the essence of the YLAC Digital Champions Program.

​

We can't wait to get started with you on your journey towards becoming Digital Champions!

​

All the best!
