For as long as your bootcamp enrollment is active. This guide is the cohort's material: it opens when you enroll and isn't sold separately.

No. Modules run from easier to harder, but you can jump to the one you need. Progress is saved per lesson.

Whatever is needed is listed under “What you need to bring”, above. If nothing is listed there, you can start from zero.

In your cohort's channel, with your instructor and the rest of the group. The bootcamp's live sessions are the other place to ask.

It's the bootcamp's material, not a replacement for it. The bootcamp adds dates, a cohort, reviewed work and support; this guide is what you study inside it.
