FAQ

Is there a deadline to complete this course?  

This course is a self-paced and fully remote course. You can register anytime and work at your own pace.

How long does it take to complete the course? 

Although there is no strict deadline to finish this self-paced course, we can provide you with an estimated timeframe for completion:

Most students spend around one week per section to fully comprehend the materials. If this pace aligns with your learning style, you may complete the course in approximately 6-8 weeks.

However, you can take as long as you'd like for each section. If you want to dive deeper into or move through sections faster, you have the flexibility to adjust the course to your learning needs.
