Qualifications Required

Any school going students from VI to XII standard.

Time Required to Learn

Typically our courses are 36 hours (introductory / crash course) to 600 hours (long term).

A student can spend 2 hours / day (in 3 weeks) to 6 hours / day (in 1 week) to complete a 36 hours course.

A school/ college going student can typically spend 4 hours per week (in 9 weeks) to 6 hours per week (6 weeks), to complete the 36 hours course.

For a 600 hours course, a student may need to give more time per week – typically 20 hours per week (total 30 weeks = 7 months) to 30 hours per week (total 20 weeks = 5 months) to complete the course.
