How long should I study for?

To complete the Introduction level competency, we recommend about 5 hours for learning and reflection. 15 hours for Fundamentals level and about 40 hours (cumulative) for Practitioner level study and qualification. This study will be a mixture of computer-based training using the e-Learning, reference to the support documents and completion of the Practical Tasks and Tests. Depending on other commitments, you will require anything from 2 weeks to 6 months to complete this learning.

Purchasing this product provides you with a license to use Passport for a period of 6 months from the date of purchase. During this period the product is supported to ensure that the content is consistent with the method syllabus. The e-Learning and the Exams are valid for 6 months from the date of the initial purchase.

If you find that time passes by more quickly than you thought, then you can extend the license by contacting support@spoce.com

It is advisable to identify a date for completion of the self study to help focus on completion. 3 weeks notice applicable to arrange the exam. Failure to attend your confirmed exam event may result in transfer charges being applied (see Terms & Conditions).
