Frequently Asked Questions

What is a learning pathway?

A learning pathway is a curated series of courses organized around a specific topic, skill, or professional goal. Instead of choosing courses individually, you can follow a guided learning experience designed to help you build knowledge and expertise.

How is a learning pathway different from taking an individual course?

Individual courses focus on a specific topic or skill. A learning pathway brings multiple related courses together to create a more complete learning experience and give you a clear direction for your professional development.

How many courses are included in a learning pathway?

The number of courses varies by pathway. Each pathway listing includes the number of courses, total learning hours, and other details so you can find the right fit.
