If you just ran through the course video narrations without any breaks and took only a few minutes on each quiz, the course would take just under 3 hours to complete.

The course can be viewed from a PC, Tablet or phone using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera) running a conventional operating system (Mac/Windows/Linux).

If you have a relatively current web browser, then you should be good to go.
We do recommend that you take the course from a laptop or desktop computer with a large screen to maximize your viewing real estate and avoid excessive scrolling. However, you can take the course from your smartphone if you are so inclined. Last, note that the Garden Tutor course does have Module and Lesson videos that require audio on your computer or device.
