Questions about course readiness

Can I start a course with only slides?

Yes. Slides are the most common starting point. They usually need a clear goal and a quiz plan added.

What if the knowledge is only in someone’s head?

Record a call with them. A recording is enough to start a course map.

How long does it take to turn material into a course?

Once the material is ready, a 30-minute course takes about 6 to 8 weeks. The cost calculator shows a timeline for yours.
