Based on your individual study needs and work-life schedule you can adjust your pace to move faster or slower through the course, or even pause and resume your studies completely at any point. You can also defer your exams and extend your studies until you feel confident and ready to write. You will have access to all of the course material, and the support of our permanent team of lecturers throughout the extended time with no additional fees.
