Typically, "absolute basic fundamentals" refers to a 100, or maybe 200 level course. In some fields of research, it is a 500 level course. However, in those instanaces, one needs a fairly solid foundation in other fields of knowledge. If one has the suitable knowledge foundation, then even a college freshman could sign up for that 500 level course.
A 3 semester hour course typically requires 45 hours of class time. The anecdotal data suggests that more than half the time spent in a classroom is wasted time. Hence, if you want to learn the fundamentals of something, you can do so in twenty hours.
