Timeline
The Practitioner Enterprise Solution Architect Course is a 5 days course, includes lectures, demos, and workshops.
The following is guidelines for the instructor to organize the time pace with the students, subject to change based on students preference.
Breaks during the day follows the 106 rule, every 45-60m
*the 106 rule, indicates the human memory capacity to learn the new factual elements which is 106 facts before the memory could be reused.
