# 20–24 hour course schedule (no shortcuts)

Open **`docs/index.html`** and work top to bottom. Each lab: read blue boxes → comics → run SQL → say exam drills out loud.

| Hours | Labs | Focus |
|------:|------|--------|
| 0–1 | 00 | Setup + sample data |
| 1–3 | 01–02 | Architecture layers + object catalog |
| 3–5 | 03–04 | Micro-partitions, table types, Iceberg/DT |
| 5–6.5 | 05 | Interfaces + Cortex / Snowpark / Streamlit |
| 6.5–9 | 06–08 | RBAC, auth, governance policies |
| 9–10 | 09 | FinOps / resource monitors |
| 10–12.5 | 10–12 | COPY, Snowpipe, streams/tasks/DT |
| 12.5–15 | 13–15 | Profile, warehouses, SQL + VARIANT |
| 15–17.5 | 16–18 | Time Travel, clone, share/replication |
| 17.5–20 | 19 | Timed mock + weak-spot redo |
| 20–24 | Buffer | Re-say drills; re-check `EXAM_BLUEPRINT.md` |

**Before Lab 08+ once:** ensure you can create policies (Enterprise features may need Enterprise trial / edition awareness — drills cover what the exam asks even if your trial edition differs).
