Courses transferring to Techdegree and time to complete

Hi there!

I was wondering if there was an estimated time it takes to complete a techdegree (say Front-End) given you've already completed the courses in said techdegree?

Thanks!

I'm also interested in the answer. I've already talked about this with the support, but of course, I would still appreciate further clarification.

As far as I'm concerned, the completion of the techdegree depends on the completion of the associated courses, and how much time do you put into it daily. And depending on these, it can vary from a couple of weeks, all the way up to 10 months.

Let's say you've completed the courses and you can work on it all day. I think you will be finished with it within 2-4 weeks, and you'll only work on the projects which will be included in your portfolio later.

Further clarification is appreciated, so please everybody comment!

Completion of the Techdegree is dependent on the successful completion of the 12 projects and the final proctored exam, not necessarily the courses between projects. Going into a Techdegree with the content leading up to each project already completed would, in theory, help you get through the Techdegree quicker, but keep in mind that to ensure sufficient time can be spent on each of your project reviews, submissions are limited to one project every seven days.

OK, that means that it is at least 3 months to complete, and it costs at least $600
