The course is at your own pace. Most people finish in 2 months or less. Some have completed the course within a week or two since it only requires a minimum of 50 hours (equal to 60 hours classroom). Some take longer. It is really up to your schedule. But you need to finish all units and then pass a final course exam within the 6 months.
Does this course meet the 60 hour pre-license course requirement? Yes. Actually, since a classroom requirement is 60 minutes per hour with 10 minute breaks per hour, the online requirement is 50 hours minimum. You just need to complete all units with that many hours to schedule the final proctored exam.
