Time to complete a course Time to complete a course At the moment, there is no set time to complete a correspondence study course. You work at your own speed. A lot depends on how well you understand the material and how much time you have to work on the course.
Most students take from six months to one year to complete a course by correspondence.
To get the most out of a correspondence course, you should work steadily at the course and submit assignments to your marker every week. That way, you will benefit from the comments the marker has to make about your work. If you send multiple assignments to your marker at one time, you may not get your assignments back as quickly. This will slow up your progress in the course.
