Course Duration
The course duration, or enrolment period, is the number of weeks from the course start to the course end date.

When you start your course, you will have a study guide to follow that outlines what topics to aim to work on each week.

For many courses the study guide will be based on teaching weeks, which is shorter than course duration. This is to allow time at the end of the course for assessment marking, extensions and exams.

Withdrawal dates are based on the course duration. Learn more about withdrawals and course transfers.
