Karen,
I am currently doing the course -first module which is Health and 
Safety. Rosemary has advised that you need to do 300 hours in total for 
each module (6 months). 150 hours are practice including conversations 
and 150 hours academic producing assignments etc.
Karen if you want to ring me direct to discuss further I am in work 
tomorrow (between 8-4) 01743 369453
