How this is calculated. Course sequence and level groupings come from the 2026 Tech Builder pacing tabs; per-course hours are the total instruction hours (reading, video & skill practice) from the Master Course List. Each week the next 3 courses in sequence are completed, so weekly hours reflect the specific courses scheduled that week. Graduation = start date + (total courses ÷ courses per week, rounded up) weeks. Estimates assume a steady cadence with no breaks.
