Workload 

The study workload for each course is approximately 10 - 13 hours per week. Courses have a 20-week enrolment period, which includes 16 weeks for learning and assessments, and four additional weeks if more time is needed. For each course you will generally need to complete an assessment every five weeks. 

Enrolment options

You can enrol in one, two, three or four courses at a time. Typically, learners enrol into one or two courses at a time to ensure a more manageable study workload.  

Studying all four courses at once: 

• This will be a workload of around 40 hours of study a week, which may be higher when assessments are due.
• We recommend you only do this if you need to apply for a Student Loan with Student Allowance, Living Costs or Course Related Costs.
• If you are working full-time or have other fulltime commitments, we recommend studying one or two courses at a time.
