Author Topic: How long does it take to work the course?

The home study course materials are the same ones we use in our classroom course. The classroom course is six 3-hour classes and we figure homework and reading take up about the same time. Hence the classroom course takes up some 36 hours. We assume the home study course goes a bit faster on average, so if you figure 30 hours or so that should be close.

Variation will occur because there are numerous articles in the course materials and you may not choose to read then all in your first pass through the course. Also, there are many practice problems and you may not choose to work all of them once you are convinced you got the technique down. So, if you do all the problems and read all the articles you may be at some 30+ hours, but we suspect that most people get what they want from the course is some 20 hours or so.

Needless to say, you can take as long as you like. Our invitation to call us with questions is an open one. Call while you are first working on the course, or call a year later. It does not matter. We have been doing this for many years and will be many years more.
