What is a Self-Guided Course?

Self-paced courses offer the flexibility to begin whenever you choose, allowing you to progress at your own pace and convenience. These courses, known as Self-Guided courses, operate without the presence of an instructor or student group. Upon purchase, you can immediately embark on your learning journey without delay. Each Self-Guided course is divided into digestible "lessons," each representing approximately a week's worth of study. However, you have the freedom to adjust the pace according to your preferences and schedule. Course materials vary but typically include a comprehensive PDF document containing reading materials, links to relevant websites, and exercises designed to reinforce learning. Additionally, quizzes and exercises enable you to assess your progress as you advance through the course.

How to Enroll in a Self-Guided Course

Upon purchasing a course, you'll be guided to register for a Student Area account if you haven't already done so. This intuitive process facilitates access to your course materials and enables you to track your purchases. Your course materials will be accessible in your Student Area under the "Course Materials" section shortly after purchase. The material is provided in PDF format, allowing you to save it to your device and print it for reference.

Duration of a Self-Guided Course

Each lesson in a Self-paced course is structured similarly to those in Instructor-led courses, typically requiring around four hours of dedicated study time. However, if you engage in practical family research based on the lessons, additional time may be necessary. You'll have 6 months (180 days) from the date of purchase to access your course, so be sure to download and save the PDF for future reference.
