Recommended Hours of Study

We recommended you spend approximately 110 hours of your time studying for the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy 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.
