We do DNA education right
We do DNA education rightDNA can be a powerful tool for discovering your origins–if you can figure out how to use it.
But a lot of DNA education happens in one-time webinars or articles. While helpful and inspiring, these don’t deliver the ongoing, interactive experience most people need to make their own DNA discoveries accurately and confidently. Most people need:
- Expert teachers who break down the science into EVERYDAY LANGUAGE
- Step-by-step INSTRUCTIONS for tasks linked to their specific DNA goals
- TIME to process what they learn
- PRACTICE: exercises and repetition to master new concepts
- Clear next steps to BUILD on their knowledge
- HELP when they get stuck
- a FUN and CONFIDENT learning environment so the discovery experience remains rewarding
The SPIN Process
All of these principles are built into our signature SPIN learning process, offered in our Academy Courses and Workshops. These are interactive, sustained experiences where you:
- Study the concepts
- Practice on guided activities
- Implement them with your own DNA results, and take
- Next Steps based on your discoveries and goals
We also offer get-started solutions you can use to advance your learning independently: our popular DNA Testing Company Tours and Your DNA Guide–the Book.
