How long does it take to complete the training?

Do I have to complete both courses at one time?

  • No, the courses are structured in a way that you can complete them in multiple sittings and at your own pace. For example, if you want to do 20 minutes on a day and then take a break, you can do that! The course will save your work when you log out and you can start up again where you left off the next time you log in.
  • The one requirement is that you must complete both courses in their entirety by the deadlines:
    Part 1 Deadline = August 31, 2023
