  How long does a course last?

You may take two years to complete any of the distance learning courses but the actual pace is entirely up to you as there are no further deadlines set by the School. But - we know from experience that students who set themselves a regular pattern of study find it easier to get the most out of their learning experience.

Many students find that they can complete their course within a 9-15 month period.

One advantage of distance learning is that you can vary your study program to fit around those parts of your life - family, work, or even illness - which can easily interrupt a well-planned schedule.

If circumstances beyond your control mean that you need to extend your course beyond the two year period, a small update fee may be payable at that time.
