Classroom and Workplace Based: This is a 15-month qualification, taught in either a class-based or workplace-based environment. Class-based students will be required to attend class 1 day per week (9am – 3pm) along with self-paced independent learning time, whereas workplace-based students will be required to complete their assessments while on the job.
