Pathfinder turns your placement goal into a plan you can follow one study day at a time. Tell it what you are aiming for and how much time you have, and it builds a week-by-week path of lessons and practice — so every day you open Launchpad, you know exactly what to do next.

How your path is built

Every path is shaped by what you tell Pathfinder about yourself: Activities are picked from Launchpad’s course catalog and placed in prerequisite order, so you build foundations before moving to harder topics.
