Study time

This course is delivered fully online as self-study and so you will require access to a computer with internet access. A webinar is held in the first week of the course to demonstrate the learning materials and how to use the e-learning environment.

The e-learning portal combines multiple voices, animation and interactive exercises, throughout the study units allowing you to complete the units at a time and pace which suits you.  

The course takes between 10 to 12 hours to complete, however you will have access to the materials for 12 months to be able to plan your study and complete your exam.
