How the course works
This course will take you a total of about 6 hours to complete.
The course consists of three digital parts and three homework assignments. Each digital part of the course takes about 40-60 minutes to complete, depending on how quickly you choose to proceed through the course material.
Between the digital parts of the course you will be presented with assignments to work on. The assignments are designed to be performed in your scout group, as part of the scouting activity for which you are a leader. You should therefore spread out the digital parts of the course to ensure that you can take part in at least one scout meeting between each part.
Count that, it is likely to take you about 3-4 weeks to complete the entire course.
