Frequently asked questions

Q. Why are your courses spread over 10 weeks, when some companies may offer 8 weeks?
A. City & Guilds state the training for the 6129 certificate should cover approximately 400 hours. The best way to teach this is 40 hours per week x 10 weeks.
There are companies that may require home study to enable the student to learn the relevant modules missed within the 8 weeks.
