Q: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE QUALIFICATION?

 

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) guides us on volume of learning. It describes how long a student would take to develop all the required skills and knowledge and be assessed on those, if they had no prior knowledge. 

Most people are surprised to discover that the AQF states the volume of learning for a Certificate IV qualification is 6 months to 2 years (or 600 – 2400 hours).

There are of course allowances for shorter course durations for more experienced cohorts. We find many of our clients for example, already have significant experience in teaching and training. For experienced people we tailor a learning plan that allows them to not spend time learning things that they can already do. Subsequently they take less time than the AQF suggests.
