Time Limit?

I am currently in the Free Trial. Whenever look at a course, it says 6 hours left, or 3 hours left, or 1 hour left, etc. Same with the tracks. Does that mean only that amount of time is left before the free trial ends?

Hi David!

That is the amount of time left before you have completed the course.

I hope that this helped you out!

So is it an estimate?

Correct David. It is just an estimate of how long a course/track will take. This is by no means the norm or expected time for you to complete it. It's just based on the total time of the videos added together with some time for challenges and quizzes.

I'm always above their estimated time, but I take notes, re-watch parts of videos, etc... so yes a very rough estimate.

:)
