Is there a standard or uniform way to calculate how many actual hours of instructional time one gets from a college course that's described in credit hours? In other words, can credit hours be converted to real hours spent in the class or with the instructor or otherwise officially participating in the class?
I ask because I'm curious to know how this accelerated Paramedic program compares to a "real" -P program.
One local community college near me offers a certificate program that's a minimum of 54 credit hours. That accelerated program in the link is 624 hours. I just want to compare the accelerated program to the college certificate program on equal terms.
