How many classroom hours and independent study hours are needed for each course? How many credit hours should each course be?

0

iCarnegie’s courses, generally speaking, suggest approximately 40-50 classroom hours and 80-100 independent study hours (or a total of 120-150 hours). However, those time estimations also can be dependent on either or both (a) the knowledge and skill level of the students and (b) the amount of time students devote to the course relative to other obligations. For example, iCarnegie courses used in corporate training environments may be set up as two-week “boot camps”, where students already have enough IT (pre-requisite) experience to allow for a faster-paced course delivery. In all cases, iCarnegie flexibly works with each partner to determine the appropriate mix of classroom vs. independent study time allocations. Credit hours received for iCarnegie courses are typically 3 or 4 credit hours.
