We recommend you commit five hours per week to complete each module for the duration of each specific course. You can take time off between courses, but it's recommended you complete each course in the way they are structured. For example, the negotiations course is four weeks long. This means that you would do five hours of work each week for each of the four weeks of the course. We don't recommend that you do five hours of work one week then take off a week, and come back to it. It is better to complete a class in the time frame specified once you have started it.
