Study Hours

There is no set schedule for distance education, however we recommend allowing 5-7 hours per week for part-time students and 16 - 18 hours per week for full-time students. This is to allow for the study of course materials, the completion of assessment and practical placement.

Internship - Practical PLacement

_There is a 20 hour commitment required for Practical Placement in an English as a Second Language (ESL) class. This includes 14 hours of observation and 6 hours of supervised practice teaching in an approved placement organisation. QIBA will do their best to accomodate you and find times that suit both you and the trainer. In some cases you may need to be willing to take some time off from work each week or for a short period sometime during your enrolment, in order to attend your practical placement.
