Recommended Hours of Study

We recommended you spend approximately 110 hours of your time studying the Level 2 Teaching Assistant course. The pace of study is completely up to you. To give an example, if you dedicate 2 hours a week to the course it would take you a year to complete but if you could spare 4 hours a week you could complete it in six months.
