Three questions about this course

How much time does it take each week?

There are 46 lessons, 9 h 12 min of video in total. At the suggested 4 hours a week that is about 3 weeks, but you set the pace: the planner works it out for other weekly hours.

How long can I watch it?

For 18 months from the day your access starts. Access details are emailed within one working day of payment, and you can rewatch any lesson as often as you like during that time.

Can I download the videos or ask a tutor?

No. The lessons are recorded and streamed online only, and there is no tutor, mentoring or marking of your code. The exercises listed under what’s included show the finished result on screen, so you can check your own work. Read before you start for what you need.
