Unit 1 should take about 7 weeks, allowing between 2 to 3 hrs per week. There are six activities - each is sign posted in the text.

Try to complete one activity each week, and contact your assessor if you find you are spending longer on the activities.

If you are working towards a qualification allow 2 to 3 hours at the end of the unit for assessment and portfolio building.

All three units build on the activities you carry out. The course is focused on you and your workplace and the interface between, your work, your community, and the environment.
