Courses can take between 10-40 hours to complete at UMPI.
The more time you study per week, the better your odds are at completing 10 courses in a single term.
Your prior experience with doing Sophia, Study.com, and Google certificate courses could help give you an estimate of your efficiency and your consistency in putting in the hours of work to complete courses.
There is no pre-studying you can do. The one thing that could slow you down is waiting for a course to open up.
I'm committing a minimum of 60 hours per week so I'm feeling confident I can get this knocked on the head.

I suggest before you begin the journey, read a couple of threads, here is one of them: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-in-8-days - then read this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...in-10-days - and write down 'notes' on other threads where you have advice on how to get specific classes completed.
Thanks, I've read through those threads. The interesting point about the first one is where op recommends submitting milestones together. I would have thought staggering them out would be better so there's always something to work on/progress is being made. I imagine there'll be a few days downtime while waiting for milestones to be graded if they are being submitted together.
