# How long does it take to complete the GMS-T program?
### Amount of Time it Takes to Complete the Program
The program is made up of:
- 19 Courses - The courses are spread out over six Modules (see [How to Earn](https://www.talenteverywhere.org/Certification/Global-Mobility-Specialist/How-to-Earn-the-GMS-T-Certification) for a list of program content/courses),
- 6 Quizzes - There is one quiz in every Module that covers the material from that Module, and,
- 1 Examination - The exam can be found in the 7th Module.
***You are given 6 months to complete each course and the time starts when you access that course. We suggest you complete the full program within six months so that you will have access to all courses should you wish to review prior to taking the final exam.***
The amount of time that a person will spend in the program varies and is dependent on how long the candidate spends in each course, the time spent on the various activities and case studies, as well as quizzes and the exam. The average amount of total time a candidate spends in the program is approximately 25 hours.
You may take the Modules at your own pace and in any order. The courses (within each Module) will save your place so that you can return to your Learning Portal account at anytime and pick back up where you left off in the Program. It is suggested to complete the **entire program** within 6 months.
