Hello @Jeremiahthebullfrog,
First, congratulations on completing the Make Basics course. After completing the Intermediate and Expert, you’re ready to create basic and advanced scenarios.
Make’s features or possibilities are deeper that sometimes we can’t believe.
Carefully Read this and check all available links. Later you can give more specific time to different things.
How long it takes to complete things depends on your technical knowledge of computer programming and its process or implementation works.
I recommend you to do that different possible training with practice and then invest time in checking different communities to confirm your skills and experience.
