Alpha schedule by weeks:
Alpha is typically 9-11 weeks long with an Alpha weekend about halfway through. This is the recommended order of topics that we find is the most effective. You can find this schedule when you log in to myAlpha and click on the "Schedule" tab:
Note: If you can't do a full weekend with 4 videos, you could show 3 videos in an Alpha Day and then add one more week to your Alpha to show the last weekend video.
Alpha session by hour:
Here are some sample schedules below that you can customise. An in-person Alpha is usually longer because it includes set up, a meal, and tear down. Guests are hosted for about 2 hours total. An online Alpha is typically shorter and lasts around 90 minutes. Please feel free to customise these samples according to your context:
