5380 mins instructional time.

I'm about to deliver the combined A+ Core 1 and 2 (1201/1202) course.


According to the pacing guide, the course allocates 5,380 minutes of instructional time for the 5-day schedule, which works out to roughly 90 hours.


Has anyone delivered this course yet? I'm struggling to see how all the content can fit into the time allocated.

So, I don't think you can push both Core 1 and Core 2 into one week and have an effective class. In all the time I've taught A+ (disclosure, I have not taught v12), I have never seen both sides taught properly in a week, even in a bootcamp scenario. Perhaps the only way I would suggest it would be for established professionals that are merely reviewing content. Even then, that's an overly ambitious pace.

Mathematically, 90 hours divided by 5 is going to be 18 hours per day if we're understanding it correctly. Perhaps the schedule is a 5d/wk schedule across two weeks, making it 9h/day, which may be more reasonable?
