Set your rhythm

Self-paced describes activities—especially learning—that proceed at whatever speed the participant chooses rather than according to a fixed schedule.

A self-paced course lets students complete modules when they're ready.

The training program is entirely self-paced, so you can finish in two weeks or two months.
