The Motivation to Transform Your Career
The program requires commitment as it takes about 200 hours to complete. You should be prepared to set aside at least 15 hours per week to study and develop portfolio assets if you want to transition quickly. However, there is no such thing as 'behind' in the Academy. You can take the slow and steady path or the hurry up and finish path. Either way though it will take time and commitment to do the work and make the transition. When you put in the time is up to you.
A Computer (Mac or PC) and an Internet Connection
A PC is industry standard, but you can complete the lessons and assignments with a Mac. However, you will need to install VMware Fusion or something similar to run and use Articulate Storyline®
