How long will it take to complete the Certificate III program?
One of the features of the Pearsons Certificate III program is FLEXIBILITY. The typical Pearsons student is busy juggling study, family, and work so we have developed three programs offering you choice as to how fast you complete your studies.
- Classic Program – attending class one day per week over 9 months.
- Accelerated Program - attending class up to two days per week over 6 months.
- Intensive Program – attending class three days per week over 3 months.
In each program there are three weeks where you will attend class an additional day – the first week, last week and one somewhere in the middle!
There are 32 class days and classes run from 9am to 4:30pm. And yes, plan for homework each week!
Each enrolment is valid for two years, giving you the flexibility to defer at any point and resume your studies within this timeframe.
