Three months to complete the Java Web Development Techdegree?

Would it be plausible to assume that I could complete the Java Web Development course within three months if I am spending ±4 hours a day on the course? I have done a substantial amount of the Learn Java track and now that I am certain it is the route I would like to proceed with, I'm hoping to complete the course within 3 months? To be fair, there isn't a need to it to be 3 months, however, it is the time framing I would push for.

Thanks in advance for the help!

HI Jean Malan

I think 3 months might be pushing it for the Java Techdegree -- it really depends on your level of understanding of Java, and frameworks like Spring. The projects are very good and very challenging so they may take you some time to complete. At 4 hours per day, you might be able to complete the program in 3 months, but I think a bit longer is more realistic.

Thanks for being a Treehouse student.

Thanks for the reply Dave!

To be honest my goal is to complete it so I can start a job as a junior programmer early next year! So hopefully that will give me ample time and maybe even time to complete the Oracle certification!

Thanks again!
