Completion Expectations

Modules range in time investment from a minimum of 45 minutes to a maximum of three hours. Learners should generally devote one-third of that time to reading, watching or listening and two-thirds of the time to external activities as directed. 

For example, a 60-minute module typically involves two additional hours of activities such as practice, formative exercises, independent study, reading handouts, and completing the post-module knowledge check.

Time investment varies from one learner to another. Listed on the course page, each activity state an approximate length of time expected for completion based on either average reading speed, or the number of video/audio minutes included.

While the average total time expected to complete the full program once-through, at a reasonable pace and without repetition, is approximately 80 hours, it can range from 30 to 120 hours excluding weekly meetings. Expect to invest and additional 2 hours per live meeting. One for attendance or replay, the other in hands-on practice.

What our learners have to say

Shally provided specific training for our Talent team. This was the best 3-day training seminar I have ever received. His in-depth knowledge and workarounds for all the recruiting/ network/ search engines was unbelievable. He also continues to provide support for the "Hard to Find" people in the market.

DARREN MCCLOUD
Shally trained our National Recruiting team and it was the most relevant, on point training I have ever had. He was funny and could relate to our daily challenges.
