That’s normal!

This is called drip content.

It is so that the learner is given access to the entire course in smaller recommended learnable portions and also for the START and END date on the certificate will be more acceptable and appropriate for the entities that will vet your award and your knowledge such a the Licensing Authority (example PSRA or equivalent) and the companies that will require the award.

Time spent in the course is very valuable to your stakeholders among other things.
