You set your schedule with Tempo Learning®. No deadlines or set class times. When you’re ready, take an assessment to certify your knowledge and skill in a topic. Then, move on to the next topic and assessment.
Tempo Learning® in Action
Testimonials
Tempo Learning® by Walden University is a way for students to earn their degree by demonstrating what they know, when they know it. Tempo Learning® allows students to have more control over their schedule and even impact the length of time their degree takes and total cost of their program.
The Tempo Learning® experience is competency-based, meaning you progress by demonstrating knowledge of a subject, when you are ready. It is a different way to complete your Walden degree vs. the traditional course-based experience.
Competencies are the skills, knowledge, and abilities a student needs to be successful in their chosen career field. When choosing to do a degree in the Tempo Learning® format, students demonstrate competencies instead of completing courses. This ensures that every graduate can show their current or future employer the specific skills and abilities they’ve learned in their Walden degree program.
Tempo Learning® is a custom-paced learning experience – that means that you can learn at the pace that is right for you. With no set weekly deadlines, you can speed up or slow down as your time or knowledge allows. Time to completion therefore varies for each student, based on their available time, experience, and personal goals - your Enrollment Specialist can give you an idea of how long a specific program may take you.

Walden faculty members engage proactively in your learning, sharing their expertise to clarify concepts or provide additional information to ensure you gain the knowledge you need to impact your career. With each competency, you’ll work with experienced Walden faculty members who offer extended support and guidance on content and learning support tools, such as embedded resources, short quizzes, and knowledge checks. Though you have the ability to work independently and at your own pace, faculty are always easily accessible.
