Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
The course starts when the instructor is ready. The teacher is in full control of the pace and delivery of the content - you decide when your classroom starts and when you finish. Remember, the license is for one year and begins at the agreed upon date sent in the course confirmation email.
How long do I have access to the course?
After enrolling, you and your students have one year licensed access to this course across any and all devices they own. You will be asked to renew your license at the end of your 12 months if a multi-year license is not purchased.
How long does each module take?
On average each module is set up to take approximately 90 mins of instruction to complete. Student activities can be completed in class or as homework assignments. Some educators use a flip model and have students read and watch videos out of class and work on projects during class. This can cut time if needed.
