The provided self-study material has a duration of approximately 1 workday. For the whole Aspherix® Online Course we suggest to reserve between 1,5 and 2 workdays.

The Aspherix® online training can be booked with fixed or flexible start date. The course materials are accessible for one month after the course start, the lessons can be followed individually (and repeatedly, if required). The training with fixed start data comes with additional benefits (see below). When booking a training with flexible starting date, the live video group Q&A of the training with the fixed starting date can be attended.
