How long should I study for?

To complete the Introduction level competency, we recommend about 5 hours for learning and reflection. 20 hours for Foundation level and about 30 hours (cumulative) for Practitioner level study and qualification (where applicable). This study will be a mixture of computer-based training using the e-Learning, reference to manuals / handbooks and other support documents and completion of the practical tasks and tests. Depending on other commitments, you will require anything from 2 weeks to 6 months to complete this learning.

Purchasing this product provides you with a license to use Passport for a period of 6 months from the date of purchase. During this period the product is supported to ensure that the content is consistent with the method syllabus. The e-Learning is valid for 6 months from the date of the initial purchase.

If you find that time passes by more quickly than you thought, then you can extend the license and exam time as follows:

a) 7-day license extension - £49 + VAT
b) 3-month license extension - £99 + VAT
c) 6-month license extension - £179 + VAT

It is advisable to identify a date for completion of the self study to help focus on completion. Should you wish to book an exam, 3 weeks notice applies to arrange the exam. Failure to attend your confirmed exam event may result in transfer charges being applied (see Terms & Conditions).
