11HOW LONG YOUR
QUALIFICATION WILL TAKE
Exactly how long it will take to get your qualification depends on how many
credits you study each year and which qualification you’re working towards.
Most of our students study part time. The way we work gives you the flexibility
to get the qualification you want in a timeframe that’s right for you. If you want
to study full time, you’ll need to plan your studies carefully.
