Online Courses are designed for individuals who are unable to attend regular Dialog classes, prefer independent learning, or would like to take a course at their convenience. This free, self-paced course provides you with an introduction to search basics on Dialog. However, you do not need to complete the course at one sitting. Plan on spending approximately 45 minutes for each lesson, or about 4-5 hours to complete the entire course.
