BALM Classroom login & 2 important steps in setting up access to your student account

Step 1

Once you have signed up for a course, you will have been sent an email with detailed information on how to register for your particular course. You must log on below to access your account to access the links, and manage course fees, read course material, and access the noticeboard and student support services.

The process to set up a new password is the same as reporting a lost one. If you have any problems with your password, you can reset it here. (Please remember to use the same passwords you used when you booked.)

Thank you

Vanessa & LIbiana

Problems logging in?

If you are not enrolled then you cannot access the information in these links – you can find course details here:  https://thesourdoughschool.com/courses/

When you login you should see the student menu bar appear. Should you have any technical or access problems please attend the live student support session and we’ll check your account together. We do NOT do this on email.

If you are enrolled and you still can’t reset your password or access the information in the links then please check your junk mail if there is nothing there then please contact us directly on WhatsApp.

We understand that there is allot of information to begin with, and that mot of us are living with information overload so we don’t email very often. But we do make sure that all emails can be found below on the noticeboard – so even if you miss an email then you can find the information here.
