FAQ

“HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE TO DO THIS COURSE?”
 The answer is, “it depends.” The time it takes to complete this course depends largely on the parties involved.

We recommend one of three options that will take between 7 and 9 weeks:

  • Option 1 recommends stakeholders take each online module and then meet to complete the deliverables weekly, completing one module each week.
  • Option 2 recommends stakeholders complete one online module per week for seven weeks, then hold a workshop to complete all deliverables in week eight.
  • Option 3 recommends a hybrid approach: stakeholders complete modules, then meet to complete the deliverables. They then take the remaining modules and meet again to complete the remaining deliverables.
