I am thinking of starting a Modern Received Pronunciation British accent course. It lasts for 6 weeks and includes IPA, consonants, vowels, intonation and rhythm.
For good measure, I will repeat the course multiple times throughout this year and go through it 3-4 times.
However, after that, I don't want to rely on its material to maintain my accent. I want to find a way to maintain and improve my accent further in my own free time without the use of any paid material.
Can I do that?

I don't think so. Accent training is a daily effort likely for the rest of your life, especially if you start when you're an adult. The adult brain just doesn't work like the kid brain. Without putting in even a few minutes of practice every day, it's really hard to maintain the accent.

@dedicatedenglish Please note my corrections to your post above. Also, although you're welcome to try to answer other learners' questions, you must make it clear that you are not a teacher. I have added the relevant information to post #2 this time. Please make sure you do that yourself in future.
