At least 6hrs per day for 4 weeks is advisable. If you can't find the place for an internship then it will be a problem, but normally our experience goes that everyone finds an internship place as the owners of the ECE centers don't need to pay anything to the interns. You will receive all the documents needed for the application of intern by CCE Finalnd in google classroom.
Yes, it is valid all around the world. This is an additional course which helps you in developing your professional development skills but it is not sufficient for the job application.

For the rest of the world, it is advisable that you check the requirements for being a pedagogical leader in your country of residence. Getting a job also depends on your other qualifications and skills that are not related to this course.
There is good news for you. Starting from Nov 2019, we have rolling admissions. It means that you don’t need to wait for the next course to begin but you can enroll in the same course within 6 weeks of the course. Of course, you need to go serially as the sessions are interrelated and every session has an assignment. Without completing all the assignments, you will not be able to get the final certificate.
Earlier notification will be sent to you through an email if there is a change in the course schedule.
As you started the course late, you need to follow the course content according to the schedule i.e follow the order and session sequentially one after the other. You should not do it randomly by taking any videos from another week's schedule.
If you have more time you can complete all the sessions one by one following the proper order.
