Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits to self-paced learning?
Self-paced learning allows individuals to access course materials at the speed that is right for them. This means individuals can spend more or less time on a topic depending on their learning needs and experience level. Self-paced learning also has great flexibility, allowing individuals to start and stop as they need, and refer back to materials at any time.
Once I start a course, how long do I have to finish the course?
When you sign up for a course, you will gain access to a DHIS2 training server for a specified period of time. All DHIS2 access periods provide learners with ample time to complete the course as many of our courses can be completed within 1-2 days. Although access to the DHIS2 training server will expire, you can still access the course and refer back to course materials such as presentations, videos and all other resources available in the course. In the course description, you can find the exact DHIS2 access periods that are currently available.
How long does it take to complete a course?
