    FAQs

    Am I guaranteed to get one of my preferred coaches?

    We strive to match you with one of your preferred coaches while ensuring a balanced and efficient process. Although we aim to accommodate your preferences, we cannot always guarantee a specific coach. Rest assured, all our coaches are highly skilled and dedicated to supporting your artistic journey.

    Do I need to attend the NMA Critique Session live?

    Attending the NMA Critique Session live is optional. If you join the live session, you’ll have the opportunity to interact directly with the instructor and other students during the Google Meet, which can enhance your learning experience. However, if you are unable to attend, don’t worry -- you’ll receive a notification when the recording is available. This allows you to watch the session at your convenience and still benefit from the critique. Our goal is to provide you with flexible options that suit your schedule and ensure you have access to valuable feedback.

    What if my submission is not critiqued?

    Coaches ensure all submissions are critiqued, dedicating about 7 minutes per critique. If a critique is missed, you’ll be added to the next available session.

    How can I provide feedback?

    We welcome feedback to improve NMA Critiques. Please share your thoughts at coaching@nma.art.
