Walbrook's current qualification specification gives CeMAP a Total Qualification Time of 250 hours. That is the awarding body's planning estimate for a learner starting with no prior knowledge — not a compulsory study target or a promise about how many weeks you will need.
| Element | Published time |
|---|---|
| Guided Learning | 6 hours |
| Other learning, revision and assessment time | 244 hours |
| Total Qualification Time | 250 hours |
Walbrook describes TQT as a prediction of the total time a student with no prior knowledge might need. It includes unsupervised learning, e-learning, exam preparation and formal assessment as well as guided learning.
The qualification has five mandatory units. The current specification assigns each unit 5 credits and 50 hours of unit study time:
Your calendar time depends on how much of the material is already familiar, how many hours you can study consistently and whether you want to sit units close together or spread them out. Rather than copying a generic “X weeks” claim, divide the remaining study work across the weeks you realistically have available and adjust it using your quiz and mock results.
Walbrook suggests FRE1 → MRT1 → FRE2 → MRT2 → ASEW/ASSC as a learning pathway, but explicitly says learners can study flexibly in the order they choose. The synoptic ASEW/ASSC unit is suggested last because it draws mainly on MORT knowledge while also incorporating FSRE fundamentals and additional protection/adviser-skills content.

Yes. The current specification assigns 50 hours of unit study time to each of the five mandatory units.
Yes. Walbrook publishes a suggested learning path but says learners can study flexibly in the order they choose.
