     What is the timeline to complete the Earn as You Learn program? 

    • The work is asynchronous - this means students work virtually at their own pace. Some students will complete the work in a few weeks and others will take longer. Some students may spend 5 hours a week (that's 1 hour a day) working on this program while others may spend 10 hours or more. Consider making a weekly schedule.
    • Depending on the certification you selected and your work style, it'll likely take somewhere between 35 and 50 hours to complete the work.
