A student will enter a study block on a stipulated date and exit the study block when all conditions are met. Study blocks must be completed in a pre-defined order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). 

All learning materials, resources, and assessments will be available through a Learner Management System (LMS) and the student will conduct all learning activities through the LMS. This qualification has a practical component. Students will be required to submit videos of their own demonstrations for assessment.
