As the course is self-paced, you may take longer than the scheduled 24 weeks to complete your course. If necessary, you may take up to a year to finish your studies and extensions are available if required.

The well-constructed assignments forced me to observe pictures carefully, stick to the key points and write succinctly and creatively. This, and the perceptive encouragement of my excellent tutor, has helped my writing tremendously. The website is attractive and easy to use. The student support team is efficient, courteous, interested and genuinely supportive.
