How long does the course take?
We believe that most students will take anywhere between 3 and 9 months to complete this qualification. If you complete the three day face to face course this does fast track you somewhat as you have a trainer go through many items with you in class. However there is still 6 assessments to complete once you've completed the 3 day face to face course. The time it takes varies due to a number of factors - your level of education, your skill level and your ability to put time aside to study.
