The YouTube link for viewing the archived course recording is accessible only in the Member Area, and only to those who are registered for the course.
Translated subtitles (in English or French), in addition to subtitles in the teaching language, will be integrated into the archived recording. Subtitles are automatically translated on YouTube from the original SRT file uploaded beforehand.
YouTube links (URLs) of the archived courses are deleted from the Member Area in mid-August each year, and course recordings are kept in our internal archives accessible only to the CAMCCO-L team on request.
