Frequently Asked Questions


How much time do I need to take a course?

This depends on which course you’re interested in. Our courses have been created with individual schedules to suit the training material being offered.

It might take you approximately 2-5 hours per week to complete the course.

For each course, there are usually between 2 to 8 hours of video-teaching in total. On top of that, you’ll be posting in the community forum, you’ll be putting everything you’re learning into practise at work, you’ll be doing and submitting assignments, and you’ll be filling out quizzes. It might take you 1-2 hours extra per week to do all these extras, so factor that in when you’re planning your time.

Do I need good internet access to the courses?

Yes. Our courses are video-based and run on the Thinkific Platform online, so access to internet is necessary for accessing the course materials.

If you have some staff that do not have good access to the internet, there are alternative ways of delivering the course material, which can be arranged.

What language are the courses in?

At the moment, all our courses are taught in English, however they been designed with the knowledge that most learners may speak English as a second language.

Written materials, captions, and video-based step-by-step tutorials are used to explain all concepts.

Multi-lingual training resources are in the plan for the future - please keep an eye on ‘Data Class (French)’ which should be launching in April 2024 and is a fully French course.
