Time Commitment

  • Course Length

    7 weeks, plus one additional week for final exam/ blended workshop (if applicable)

  • Weekly Commitment

    1-2 hours per week. This includes the time spent in going through the course materials (videos and reading materials), completing the assessment(s) and participating in the discussion forums.

The learner will have to complete going through all the course content to be eligible for a certificate

*Posts on Discussion Forum: The primary objective of the course is to engage, enable and promote learning, through learning from others. Hence we encourage learners to share their experiences on the discussion forum with reference to the discussion threads we post every week. In order to gain effectively from the 10% weightage allocated to posts on discussion Forum, reply to minimum two discussion threads per week and respond to any two of your peers. We recommend you share your experiences and knowledge on the threads we post. To exemplify, kindly make sure the sharing should not be like simply mentioning ‘Yes I agree’ or ‘even I faced similar issues’. It has to be your own experiential learning that you post.
