The course was designed for the busy working professional and the majority of our students run their own dog training businesses. Because this course includes a hands-on training component, the amount of time students’ need varies. We recommend planning on spending about 4 hours a week on the course. Many students complete the course with a couple of weeks to spare.
The course is self-paced but with a firm deadline at the end of the 12 weeks. A flex week was built into the course. This means students can dedicate more hours some weeks and less others. Additionally, students have flexibility on when to submit coursework. However, this also means students need to have good time-management skills and schedule their work appropriately.
To help students get the most out of the course, there are soft deadlines for submitting work. Students receive reminders of soft deadlines as well as tips on pacing their coursework via email.
