How long will the course take?

The course generally takes students 6 to 8 weeks to complete if you commit to allocating 10 to 12 hours per week. This should be divided between completing the online modules and also undertaking the work placement component on site. It is advised to start the work placement as soon as possible, as this component is perhaps the most time consuming.
