Read every lesson before you pay for any of it.

Lumen publishes the full spine of all 18 courses — every module, every lesson, how long it runs, what you build and how you are marked. Here is one of them, complete.

A course is a structure, so we show you the structure.

Most platforms sell you a title, a rating and a countdown timer. Lumen sells you a plan you can read. Before you pay, you can see how many hours are video and how many are you doing the work, where the project sits, what the assessment asks and how far people like you actually got.

Read a full syllabus
  1. 1

    Every lesson has a type and a length

    Video, reading, practice, project or assessment — with real minutes, not a rounded-up total. The 46-hour Python course tells you that 21 of those hours are you writing code and 8 more are the project.

  2. 2

    The project is named, not implied

    You know what you will have built and who it is written for. Courses without a project say so instead of pretending.

  3. 3

    The rubric is published before you enrol

    You can read exactly what the assessment marks, and how many attempts you get, on the course page.

  4. 4

    Progress is the cohort's, not a number we made up

    We show the share of enrolled learners who reach each module. On some courses that falls to 49%. We print it anyway.

The numbers, including the bad ones.

Languages have our lowest completion rate: 49%. Learning a language takes eighteen weeks of showing up and many people stop. We would rather you knew that before you paid ₹11,900 than after.

Figures cover 14,208 enrolments between April 2025 and March 2026. “Finished” means every module opened and every marked exercise submitted.

Five people, and everything they teach.

One scale across the whole floor: a bar is as long as the course is long. Anitha’s eighty hours run to the edge of the page; Vidhya’s twenty-six stop a third of the way across. Colour is what you do in that module.

The thirteen teachers not on this band

They teach the other twelve courses and their completion rates run from 39% to 88%. Every one of them is printed on the course page, next to the price, before you can pay for anything.

The week a working learner actually has.

Every lesson opened by the 4,310 people in Applied Data Analysis, placed in the hour it happened. Darker is busier. Clay is project work, which is very nearly the only thing anyone does at a weekend. The course plan asks for six hours a week; the median learner gives it 4.2.

The heavy outlines are one learner: Meera Sundararajan’s eleven sessions in week six — four weeknights, one Saturday at six in the morning, and two hours on a Sunday. She finished in nine weeks.

Busiest: 21:00 on Tuesday and Thursday, 18% of all lesson opens. The weekend is project work, and the slowest two days for a reply from us.

2,414 people did not finish this course. Here is where each of them stopped.

The same thirty-nine lessons as the top of this page, at the same real lengths. This time the height of each lesson is the share of the 4,310 enrolled who were still there when it started. The hatched ground beneath is everyone who had already gone.
