b. Meanwhile, longer programs often require enrolment, which can only be completed after you’ve created an account and signed in.
c. The biggest difference between the two, aside from length of the programs, is that open access programs will not track or store your progress. Enrolled programs, meanwhile, will often track progress and allow you to resume at a later date.
