To answer a few of the recent enquiries with regards to the length of time this course takes to complete, we give each candidate a guideline of 1 month per module. Some candidates choose to work through it in much less time and others for various reasons liaise with us for an extension to that. We are flexible in our approach as we want you to be supported through it and achieve the required standard in the end

Hope this helps
