Questions
What people ask before they start a path
A person answers anything this list does not. Ask us.
No. The order is the tutor's advice: every course opens on its own, and each card says which courses it builds on. Take them in any order you like and the finish date is worked out the same way.
Yes. Any course in the catalog opens on its own and sits on your dashboard beside the path. The finish date counts only the five on it.
From lesson one at 9 hours a week, it runs 8 weeks, or 2 months of Waypoint Plus at $58. Bought one by one, the five courses cost $227 and stay yours. Below 3 hours a week, buying them is cheaper.
The courses you bought stay yours. The ones you took on Plus close until you start it again, and your progress waits where you left it.
Its teacher can update its lessons, and you keep your place in the ones you finished. If a course leaves the catalog, the tutor puts the closest one in its place and the path keeps its order.
It matches your goal to the courses in the catalog, then orders them by what each builds on. The instructors who teach them check that order, and the note on every card, before a learner sees it.
Pick the hours. Keep the date.
