Hello @JaneDoe1, So you have officially started studying. Don't panic, yes one at a time.
I did not have a time limit on mine but I managed to do my whole coures in 11 months. I had 13 subjects/assessments to do.
The best way for you to break it down would be to get the 400 hours and divid it by the number of assessments. This will give you a GUILD LINE time limit for each assessement.
Some assessments will take longer and some you will breeze through.
Definately try to stick to doing one assessment at a time as you may get confused. The only time I did more than one was when I was waiting for my assessor to come out to help me. While I was waiting for a time to suit her, I moved onto another assessment that I knew I may have trouble with (and I did) so when she came out she helped me with both. This just made it easier for both of us because of the travel distant for her (2hrs).
Take your time.
Take plenty of breaks.
Don't panic.
Enjoy what you are learning.
Have a great day:)
