I'm in a different time zone, will that matter?

No, it won't matter what time zone you are in.

The course is self paced with plenty of video material as well as opportunity to engage in blogs and discussions, so there is no concern about time zones.

The course mentors will also make themselves available for chat / skype / phone conversations when necessary and if required these will be arranged for the most mutually convenient times.

FAQ 1. How much time is involved?

We are expecting that participants will require a one to two hour a week committment to complete the course requirements. Of course, it would be possible to spend more time than this as well.
