A schedule that fits your life

Three to five hours a week alongside a job works well. Go all in and you will finish faster – the module quality stays the same either way.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the certification take on average?

C often takes 2–6 weeks, B adds time depending on your pace. The SC figures in the module overview are your planning basis.

Can I finish faster?

Yes, if you invest more hours per week. Quizzes and exams keep the same quality standards.

Is the certification doable in 4 weeks?

The C Certification is doable in about 4 weeks for motivated learners. Adding the B level within those same 4 weeks only works with a very large time budget – realistically it takes longer.
