Cisco U. Learning Paths display the estimated amount of time per learning track to help the learner determine the time it will take to complete their learning goals. Pre-assessments help the learner evaluate their level of knowledge and skip a section to expedite their learning. Post-assessments help the learner determine their proficiency in a subject and whether they need to retake a section. Total completion time depends on many factors, such as the individual learner, assessment results, and the type of content.
