If you have prior knowledge, it's easier to skim read and blow through the course fast. The downside is you might miss learning some of the knowledge in the course.
The Coursera COVID contact tracing course I blew through in 30 min. They estimate 5 hours for that course.
The Google IT support cert took me 3 days. They estimate 200 hours for that.
Even when you read or listen to every word in the course, some are quick to go through.
For example, one evening, I went through the entire course of Sophia's Visual Communications watching every video at 2x speed.
