-## Audience
+## Getting started
 
-This course is designed for people who have basic familiarity with at least another programming language
-(e.g. Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, etc.), but have never written any Rust code before.
-
-Due to the variety of backgrounds, we won't assume any prior knowledge of systems programming or low-level languages.
-Approach the relevant exercises as a refresher if you've already been exposed to some of those topics in the past!
-
-## Self-paced
-
-This course is designed to be delivered by an experienced instructor over 4 days: each attendee advances through the
-lessons at their own pace, with the instructor providing guidance, answering questions and diving deeper into the topics
-as needed.  
-As a rule of thumb: if you're stuck on an exercise for more than 10 minutes, ask for help!
-
-You can also try to go through the course on your own, although we recommend having someone to ask questions to if you
-get stuck.
+Go to [rust-exercises.com](https://rust-exercises.com) and follow the instructions there
