The video length varies based on the lessons. Some of the video lessons are shorter when they are introducing a topic or going over materials, and may be around only five to ten minutes. Some video lessons are more in-depth and are up to an hour or two. Each course will include several lessons.

These courses are set up for both beginners and advanced students alike. Chapman starts with the basics, introducing topics slowly and breaking down his process step-by-step.
