Recommended total study hours: We recommend 6-10 hours of study a week to sucessfully complete this qualification in about a year. Our experience suggests that actual hours of study to achieve the Level 4 Diploma are lower where the student has relevant practical knowledge and experience.

Suggested period of study: Deltic recognise the challenging (and rewarding) nature of this course, and that individual prior knowledge, learning style and personal circumstances, will all affect the overall time to be taken in completing this course. Nonetheless, generally we would advise students to sit the course over three or four examination sittings, giving a total period of study of around 12 -15 months.
