Course duration varies by qualification and study method. PFQ typically requires around 10 hours of study or two days of tutor-led training, while PMQ involves approximately 30–40 hours of learning or five days of classroom or virtual delivery. ChPP duration varies due to portfolio and assessment requirements.
