Additionally, it was summer and I had a lot of free time, which I was spending on external studying material from here and there -- including books, youtube videos, stack overflow, etc. With that kind of pace, I was studying on average 5-6 hours a day, 5-6 days a week -- that was my personal choice.That being said, if I only focused on the homework and the provided material, I would definitely save myself  a couple of hours per day. So it's really up to you. It's not easy and some exercises might take you a day or two, but the workload is meant to be ok for the given timeframe. My advice is to start on level 1 before enrolling so you can get a taste on what's it like.You can find my testimonial here for more information:<a href="https://quantnet.com/threads/c-11-c-14-with-multidisciplinary-applications-cert-testimonials.26517/">C++11/C++14 with Multidisciplinary Applications Cert Testimonials</a></blockquote>
