Sections
- ALPS has official start dates every 4 weeks.
- Custom courses can start any week (but you shouldn’t start a course in the fourth week of a 4-week session).
- Standard ALPS sessions are 4 weeks long. You can study for as many sessions as you want.
- If you are comparing ALPS sessions with other schools that use the quarter system,
1 quarter = 10 weeks = 2.5 ALPS sessions
