Is Haitian Creole a dialect?

No. Haitian Creole is a language of its own. It has its own Grammar rules. It does come from French, and other languages, but it is certainly NOT a dialect, nor is it broken French.
If I speak French, will I be able to understand Haitian Creole?

It will be easier, because you will understand the origin of most words. However, French speakers generally do not understand Haitian Creole when they read it. You might need to sound out the words to see what they really mean. Spoken Creole is not that easy to understand at first either.
How long will it take me to become fluent in Haitian Creole

you can be fluent at a Beginner's level, A1, in about 3 months, taking 2 or 3 classes a week. Haitian Creole has faster learning curve than other languages, since it does not have as much Grammar.
What if I have never studied Haitian Creole before?

Don't worry, you can start from zero. Ne previous knowledge required. You will learn from the basics, to more complex topics.
How long do the levels last?

That depends on your learning pace, and also of the Plan you choose. Generally, a student that studies 3 times a week, will complete the first level in 3 months or less.
