Duration

This self-paced Web-delivered course is divided into six modules, each of which contains a lecture in the form of an independent reading. Most modules also contain a quiz for self-assessment and a demonstration that simulates using IBM WebSphere Commerce. You can select only the modules that relate to the specific tasks that are important to you. Usually, each module takes between one and three hours to complete.

One benefit of a self-paced course is that you can take it a portion at a time. Allocating some time each day for a week may be more a effective approach to completing this course than setting aside an entire day.
