The course is really exciting ! Are we going to learn how to draw characters in dynamic poses , too? I find it difficult and I want to improve on this , that's why I ask !!!

Yep, there will definitely be lessons on dynamic poses and acting in the Character section!
What equipment is required for the coloring section ? I ask because I do not have a tablet or any similar device and I have never worked on digital coloring or drawing. Do I need to buy a tablet or something similar ? Or I will be able to complete the coloring section with traditional ways of coloring ?

The coloring section will be one of the last in the course, but we used Photoshop and a Cintiq when Matt Wilson was in the studio coloring comics. A screen tablet and Photoshop isn't required, though digital coloring is the standard in the comic industry.
You could get a non-screen tablet like a Wacom Intuos tablet or a tablet from a different company. If you're looking for an alternative to Photoshop, then Gimp is a free one, and Clip Studio Paint is also a cheaper alternative to Photoshop.
Additionally, you could color your comics on a tablet like an iPad in Procreate or one of those tablet digital art programs.
Hope this helps!
No equipment is required, if you want to use color pencils, that would be enough.
It is just that the video will show coloring digitally since that is considered more convenient, but they have emphasized that you can do the coloring traditionally as well.
