Course Overview
This is a short distance course running over 17 weeks at an 88% study pace. The course includes recorded materials, live seminars, guided support, presentation content, and practical assignments.
Seminars are held in the late afternoon or evening, with approximately two sessions per week. In addition, individual tutoring is available.
Teaching is conducted primarily in English.
Computer requirements:
•The computer must run Windows 11 or later, have Ubuntu as the recommended primary OS, or be set up in a dual-boot configuration. The installation is done when you start the program and with the assistance of the teacher.
•Additionally, it should have at least 8 GB of RAM (preferably 16 GB) and an SSD with 256 GB of free space available. This is to install free versions of software needed in the education.
• NOTE! We do not provide support for Mac users.
Components:
During one of the course modules, you will need specific hardware components. These will be provided by the school, and you will therefore be required to sign a loan agreement.
If you prefer to purchase the components yourself, you are welcome to do so. A detailed component list will be provided at the start of the course.
Why choose a Higher Vocational Education (YH) course?
