Time Commitment and Course Completion Requirements
The time commitment for this course is estimated to be 10-15 hours, but largely depends on previous skills level and exposure to Adobe tools.
To receive the one-time incentive, you must complete the following by 5 p.m., March 10, 2023:
- Review unit 1,2,3 &4 (asynchronously),
