You won't qualify in 6 - 8 weeks....

The information covered in the the qualification is extensive and it takes time to go through the information, process it and absorb it.

This is why we offer the 10 month payment plan as this is a realistic time frame to achieve the qualification and most importantly be able to understand and apply the information you will learn.

If you don't complete the qualification within 12 months you can pay an additional fee to extend the time frame but in our experience a realistic deadline helps to guide your studies, progress without rushing and really make the most out of the content.

We realise this is not for everyone which is why we operate on a lower intake than other education providers and we limit the number of students we take on every month. This enables us to offer tailored 1 to 1 support to each and every one of our students.
