How long does it take to complete each course?
Typically, each lesson in a course takes approximately 1-2 hours. However, there are various factors which affect an individual’s time spent completing a course. Some factors include, experience with online courses, familiarity with the topics, and lack of distractions. You may find that your time may vary from the estimate.
There is no single answer here; it all depends on your prior experience of the course subject matter, and how much additional work you do. So, for example, if you have worked in the area of cancer care for a number of years, then there may be some sections of the courses that you feel you can miss out, or for which you may only need to take the self-assessment exercises without reading the course text for that Unit or Module. Each course also includes references to selected books, journal articles and websites. If you follow up these references then the course will take longer to ‘complete’, but your understanding of the subject will similarly be enhanced. As a very rough estimate, a nurse with some experience of cancer care and who does some further reading (including obtaining recommended journal articles and visiting recommended websites), could expect to spend 4 to 6 hours on a CancerNursing.org e-learning course.
