Applied Skills Question - Title Plan Duration vs. learn.microsoft.com

[MarioFuchs]

Hi TSPP Team,

we have several questions about the new Applied Skills offerings?

* There are discrepancies between course duration in titleplan and the content on learn.microsoft.com.

e.g.

- MS4008, Title Plan Duration 1Day - Link on learn.microsoft.com Duration 1hr39min

- MS4001, Title Plan 1 day - learn.microsoft.com 3h47min

- SC5006, TP: 1day - learn.microsoft.com 3hrs

I think thats not optimal for students when they attend a 1 day ILT course (in EMEA 7 work-hours) and then they see the content is only 1hr 39min.

Thanks for any tips for to sell this stuff for Learning Partners.

Hi @MarioFuchs, good question. 

The Learn durations are how long it would likely take for a learner to sit down and run through the total of the individual modules for that course. Instructor-led training would significantly extend that duration when you consider labs, TSP-provided supplemental materials, MCT's expanding on the text and answering questions, class breaks, and other activities. 

MS-4008 is a special case. It is a designed to be a 1-hour executive-level experience, which is called out in the Title Plan Note (column K in the Title Plan). Our Title Plan durations are measured in days, so this is classified as the minimum (1 day).
