Strange Favor To Ask

Can anybody who has not taken these tracks switch to them and tell me the remaining time left they have on them? I'm trying to figure out an approximate amount of time I've spent on these 4. I know how much time is left, but I have no idea what amount of time I've put into them.

WordPress Development

Front-end Development

Web Development

PHP Development

This will really help me a lot if anyone can do this for me. Thanks!

Here's some information from my account, and I think you meant to say Web Design on the third one.

  • WordPress Development (30 hours left and I have it around 30% complete)

  • Front-end Development (30 hours remaining and about 45% complete)

  • Web Design (7 hours remaining but if I remember correctly this was about 40 hours total)

  • PHP Development (41 hours left and about 40% finished)

I found that the hours remaining isn't 100% accurate if you are moving fairly fast. Also, you might keep in mind that each section might take more or less time. Hope it helps!

P.S. In my opinion if you focus more on retaining and understanding the information the hours will fly by rather quickly.

There is no Web Development course (at least for me), do you mean Web Design?

Thanks for your responses guys. I only wanted to know because my boss wants to know. He's having me take these tracks for work training and wanted to know how much time I've put in. Absolutely loving it and I feel grateful he chose this instead of making me wade through endless documentation.

I made a dummy account and checked the remaining time of these tracks. I understand it's not exact but I was really in need of a ball-park number.

If anyone is curious here are the total approximate lengths of these courses:

Web Design = 56 hours

Front-end Development = 60 hours

PHP Development = 71 hours

WordPress Development = 34 hours

Good to know :) Though, all of these courses have overlapping content, so I'm not sure it's exactly accurate. Still, a good estimate!

That's entirely correct; content is fairly repeated across tracks.

I wonder if this is taken into account when they show the approximate time left though. I currently have 11 hours left in Front-end Development and only have the "Website Optimization", "Console Foundations", and "Git Basics" courses left to take.
