What is the duration of the Course?

Total Qualification Time (TQT)

The size of the qualification is based on the amount of Total Qualification Time (TQT), which is the time it takes to complete the qualification including its associated learning and assessment.  As some Learners will study faster or slower than others, the qualification size is a guide (for a notional Learner) and not an absolute measure of achievement. The TQT includes the guided learning hours (GLH) that show the amount of time required for activities necessitating a member of staff or other supervisory person to be present, such as teaching in a classroom environment, workplace induction and supervised practical sessions.  The TQT is used to calculate the credit for the qualification.

Awarding organisations now have the freedom to review and develop qualifications to best fit their Learners and the titling of qualifications is related to TQT such that:

  • An “Award” is a small-sized qualification, i.e. a qualification that has a TQT value of 120 hours or less.
  • A “Certificate” is a medium-sized qualification, i.e. a qualification that has a TQT value in the range 121-369 hours.
  • A “Diploma” is a large-sized qualification, i.e. a qualification with a TQT value of 370 hours or more.
